As a teacher, are you monitoring learning - or just attendance?

It is often easiest to monitor how much time students spend learning. Time spent may be an insufficient indicator of learning, however.

Skills-based monitoring with tools like Workseed can provide more valuable insight to learning.

Work-based learning is in our hearts.

Managing internships is one of teaching's toughest challenges.

Teachers must juggle student learning goals, host organization expectations, and logistical coordination - all while ensuring meaningful professional experiences.

The fix? Purpose-built tools for:
✅ Students – Richer feedback
✅ Teachers – Real-time progress tracking
✅ Mentors – Structured guidance workflows

Better tools = stronger learning outcomes. 🛠️

Workplace learning is core to vocational education—but quality supervision remains a challenge.
