Supporting SEN learners

There are various ways you can use CENTURY to support SEN learners, and some usage models you may like are:

Supported Learning

• If you have any learners who require extra support in your class, you can set them a different set of nuggets to work through via Assignments. 

Work through My Courses Independently

• You can also let the learners know which nuggets to work through and they can search for them in their My Courses tab with the help of a teacher or TA. 

Learner Dashboard

• Learners can view their own Learner Dashboard and review their Strengths and Areas for Improvement. You can then discuss any areas the learners should work on and you can then pick a nugget linked to their Area for Improvement for them to work through from their My Courses tab. 

Individual Work Space

• CENTURY can be used in a set space within the school to enable any learners who struggle in a larger classroom a safe space to work.

Colour Overlay

• Learners can change the colour overlay on CENTURY to enable them to better see the words on screen.

Read Aloud

• We recommend Read Aloud for any learners with visual impairments or struggle with reading.

Working below Age Related Expectations

• If you have any learners who are working significantly below their age related expectations, you are able to edit or rename our CENTURY courses where appropriate for example renaming our Primary courses for learners who are in Secondary school. Please speak to your Account Manager for guidance on how to complete this.

Working below Age Related Expectations

• Learners who are working significantly below their age related expectations may need their own independent class on CENTURY. This is to ensure that they are accessing course material relevant to them which will likely be separate from the course assigned to the whole class. Please speak to your Account Manager if you would like to discuss your class set up on CENTURY.
