Latest case study
Epping Forest College have introduced NUMU, a collaborative platform for music, to a group of their learners. This has benefited them enormously, as the platform has given the course more vocational relevance. Students have learnt how to promote themselves and their musical product online, work collaboratively, and review each others’ work constructively. The learners are now more engaged, enthused and challenged through using NUMU.
