Espresso signs landmark distribution deal with LGfL
Espresso Education and the London Grid for Learning (LGfL) have signed a distribution agreement that enables all 2,700 London schools to use Espresso’s educational resources.
In the Grid’s first agreement made with a supplier of educational content, Espresso Education and the LGfL will jointly develop educational content designed to specifically meet the needs of London pupils.
In addition, Espresso Education's curriculum resource service will be provided to all London schools as they are connected to the LGfL network. Schools will receive the material free for a full term thanks to a subscription pre-payment made by the LGfL. After the initial term, schools connected to the LGfL will qualify for an LGfL negotiated subscription fee.
Espresso Education's video-rich material are among some of the new services that schools will be able to access thanks to the broadband network being delivered by the London Grid for Learning.
Created alongside teachers and advisors, Espresso is an integrated learning package that is easy to use and quick to navigate. The motivating and focused curriculum material - updated every week - links to a wide selection of media with the latest news and feature stories from television and the Internet.
Founder and CEO of Espresso Education, Lewis Bronze, said: “This agreement will deliver world-class content to a world-class city. I am truly delighted that the excellence of Espresso content is being recognised by the largest educational network in Europe.
"This deal shows that Espresso is the UK’s leading content provider. Our innovative and flexible approach means that our 1,300 video clips – already matched to the needs of teachers delivering the national curriculum – will be instantly available to London schools.”
LGfL Chief Executive Brian Durrant, said, “The Espresso service provides lively, relevant and high-quality on-line learning resources which are well regarded by London teachers and can justifiably be accredited as 'broadband'."
