Key features of Vola Copilot.
Assess What Really Matters.
Copilot enables evidence of authentic learning to be captured every day for every learner in your school. With Copilot you can rigorously and reliably collect evidence of learning to show impact in all areas, including those that standardised-tests struggle to reach such as empathy, creativity, and critical thinking.
Effortlessly Record Evidence of Learning.
Copilot makes it effortless to record observations of learning whatever the situation may be. Whether structured or spontaneous learning, Copilot can be used from your phone, laptop or tablet.
Record Evidence of Learning Anyhow, Anywhere, Anytime.
We know that schools are busy and vibrant spaces, often there isn't time to sit down and write your observations. That's where our multi-media feature comes in to save the day. Take out your phone and start recording!
Link Evidence of Learning to Your School Curriculum Using Lila, our AI.
Collecting lots of data is useless unless that data is well organised and actionable. With Lila, you can seamlessly tag each observation of learning to standards in your curriculum, enabling dashboards and reports that bring learning and development to life.
Their Journey, Their Voice: 360° Portfolios.
Learners are the heart of everything we do, and with Copilot's accessible and user friendly app, students and their families are also able to get involved! We empower learners and their families to be part of the assessment process, through our self and peer assessment features.
Less Time on Reports, More Time with Students.
Portfolios and reporting are tedious and labor-intensive work for educators. With our live learner portfolios and automated compilation of reports, Copilot eliminates the effort it takes to show impact and the great things that are happening in your learning community.
Know What is Happening in Your School.
Thanks to our dashboards, school leaders can effortlessly monitor how comprehensively the curriculum is being covered and track learner progress at any time. Our repository provides an excellent resource to help administrators and teachers improve the planning and assessment processes within their schools.
Confidently Achieve Accreditation with Data-Driven Evidence of Learning.
One of the main threats to educational innovation is the difficultly we face in showing impact. Copilot has helped innovative schools to become fully accredited by enabling them to show the impact of their student-centered practices on student growth and development.
