Scootle

NT educators are invited to register for Scootle, an online environment that provides access to resources from The Le@rning Federation. Scootle provides search, browse and filter technologies for a suite of interactive learning objects, including audio files and movie clips, and enables users to create favourites lists of resources for quick access.

To access the licensed TLF materials in Scootle, users need to be registered through their school manager.
