ONLINE LEARNING PLAN

Grades I-VIII

21.5.2020
Dear Parent,
Greetings from NPS ITPL.
Our commitment to a caring, creative and progressive learning environment with quality
standards has helped us evolve the Online Learning Plan for the school year ahead.

The plan will support the following:

 Conduct school remotely until resumption of normal school operations.
 Ensure sound student learning and development of skills.
 Teach according to the level for Primary School (Grades 1 to 5) and Middle School
(Grades 6 to 8).

Our Approach
As we test and trial the Learning Plan, we will balance two approaches:

1. The learning environment will enable students to work with their teachers and
classmates on a scheduled timetable for daily interactions in real time.
2. The learning environment will involve independent student work, monitored by
teachers and assisted parents.

Our Tools
The tools used for managing and monitoring the classes may include, but will not be limited
to:
 URL - www.npsitpl.com (Supported browsers - Google Chrome, Mozilla, Internet
Explorer) Safari browser is not recommended.
 Adobe flash player must be installed and compatible.
 Log in to the website and click on the tab ‘ONLINE CLASS’ visible on the HOME
page.
 Using the Individual Login Email IDs and Passwords: (which will be provided by the
school) log in for the online teaching.
 The ERP portal, E-copies of specific chapters, E-resources by way of videos, reading
material, tools for formative assessment will be practiced.
 ICT Acceptable Use Agreement: As prescribed by the school.
