Macmillan Education is the language learning platform adopted by the University of Insubria to support the development, consolidation and improvement of English language skills.
The platform is primarily intended for University students, but may also be used by academic and technical and administrative staff as part of specific training initiatives organised by the University.
With its digital content and customisable learning pathways, the platform enables users to develop language skills at various proficiency levels through study, practice and independent learning.
The platform offers:
- English language learning pathways organised by proficiency level;
- practice and independent learning activities;
- learning progress tracking;
- digital content developed by Macmillan Education;
- access using University credentials.
Access is integrated with the University’s Microsoft 365 infrastructure through Single Sign-On (SSO), allowing authorised users to sign in with their University credentials without the need for additional registration.
The University has acquired the platform under a Campus Wide licence, with the highest number of user licences available.
Licence management, access allocation, the design of learning pathways and teaching support are the responsibility of the University Language Centre (CLA), which has the specialist expertise to guide users and identify the most suitable pathways based on their learning needs and language proficiency.
Information Systems has handled:
- the technical and administrative procedures for acquiring the solution;
- the integration of the platform with Microsoft 365;
Users access the platform by signing in with their University of Insubria account.
Licence activation is subject to allocation by the University Language Centre, based on teaching and learning needs and licence availability.
