HYBRID LEARNING AND FLEXIBLE EDUCATION PATHWAYS

One Learner Journey.More Than One Place to Learn.

Learning does not always happen in one classroom, with one timetable or through one setting.

EdiWay can connect appropriate learning across school, home, alternative provision and other authorised education arrangements while keeping the source, responsibility and purpose of each record clear.

The learner journey stays connected.

The different education arrangements do not have to become the same thing.

A CONNECTED PATHWAY

Connect the Learning.Keep Each Setting Clear.

Flexible education can involve different people, locations and responsibilities. EdiWay provides a connected learner record around those changing contexts.

School Learning

Maintain school-owned teaching, attendance, assessment and support records.

Home Learning

Capture appropriate family-origin learning activity and evidence.

Alternative Provision

Connect authorised placement and provider information.

EOTAS

Maintain the distinct education-outside-school case and provision context where applicable.

Family Participation

Give parents and carers an appropriate role in the learner journey.

Professional Support

Connect authorised professionals for a defined learner and purpose.

Transition

Carry selected reviewed information into the learner’s next stage. Connection should not erase where the information came from.

HYBRID LEARNING

Support Learning Across Settings.
Without Creating Parallel Learner Records.

A learner may receive education through more than one environment or arrangement. Where the school or relevant responsible people have established that arrangement, EdiWay can help connect the educational activity around it.

Learning Plan

Maintain an agreed educational structure where supported.

School Activity

Keep school-led work within the school record.

Home Activity

Allow appropriate learning evidence to remain identifiable as home-origin information.

Resources

Provide suitable educational material.

Assignments

Connect appropriate tasks and learner work.

Progress Evidence

Bring reviewed information into the wider learner journey.

Support Strategies

Keep authorised adjustments or learning strategies available where required.

Review

Consider whether the current arrangement remains appropriate. EdiWay does not decide that a learner should move into a hybrid or flexible arrangement. That decision remains with the people and processes responsible for the learner’s education.

KEEP THE SOURCE VISIBLE

Connected Does Not Mean Blended.
Preserve Who Recorded What.

The same learner may have evidence created by different people. EdiWay can keep that information connected while preserving its origin.

School Evidence

Recorded through authorised school workflows.

Learner Evidence

Created or submitted by the learner.

Parent and Carer Evidence

Provided through the family relationship.

Provider Evidence

Created by an authorised education provider.

Professional Evidence

Provided through a defined professional relationship.

Assessment Evidence

Keep the assessor and assessment context clear.

Historical Evidence

Preserve when information was recorded and what arrangement applied at that time. A family observation should not silently become a school judgement. A provider record should not become school-authored evidence simply because it appears in the same learner journey.

HOME LEARNING

Give Families Space to Record Learning.
Keep It Connected to the Learner.

EdiWay's home-education foundations support learner profiles, parent-managed access, education plans, learning journals, portfolio evidence, progress tracking and educational resources. For suitable flexible pathways, those same principles can support learning outside the classroom.

Education Approach

Record appropriate information about how learning is organised.

Learning Journal

Capture relevant activity over time.

Portfolio Evidence

Keep examples of learning together.

Resources

Use appropriate educational material.

Progress

Maintain reviewed evidence rather than relying only on a timetable.

Family Context

Allow parents and carers to contribute directly.

Learner Voice

Keep the learner’s experience part of the journey. Home-origin learning remains distinguishable from school attendance and school-authored assessment.

SCHOOL AND HOME CONNECTION

Share the Journey.Do Not Confuse Responsibilities.

Where school and home both contribute to a learner's education, each may need different information.

School Staff

See appropriate school responsibilities and authorised family evidence.

Parents and Carers

Access relevant learner information and contribute where enabled.

Learner

See appropriate tasks, resources and progress information.

Support Staff

Access strategies relevant to their role.

SENCO

Connect authorised support planning where necessary.

Other Professionals

Participate only through a defined purpose and permission. The platform can help people work from a connected picture without assuming they all have the same authority or access.

RESOURCES AND ASSIGNMENTS

Keep Learning MovingBetween Settings.

Flexible learning becomes easier when educational material and learner activity remain connected.

Teaching Resources

Use appropriate resources from the EdiWay library.

Assignments

Set suitable learner activity.

Home Access

Make authorised resources available outside school.

Learner Evidence

Return appropriate work to the learner record.

Teacher Feedback

Keep feedback connected to the activity.

Learning Journal

Preserve wider learning where appropriate.

Portfolio

Build selected evidence over time.

Review

Use relevant evidence within wider progress conversations.

PROGRESS ACROSS SETTINGS

See the Wider Evidence.Keep Assessment Context Clear.

Learning completed outside an ordinary classroom may still provide useful evidence. That does not mean every activity should automatically become a school assessment.

School Assessment

Keep formal school judgement within the academic assessment workflow.

Assignment Evidence

Use appropriate learner work.

Home Evidence

Maintain family-origin evidence with its source.

Provider Evidence

Preserve the relevant provider context.

Learner Reflection

Include suitable learner voice.

Progress Review

Bring appropriate evidence together for human consideration.

Data Gaps

Make missing or incomparable information visible.

Teacher Judgement

Keep formal academic interpretation with authorised staff.

SEND-INCLUSIVE FLEXIBILITY

Adapt the PathwayAround Reviewed Learner Need.

Flexible arrangements may sometimes sit alongside SEND support. EdiWay can connect appropriate learner information without treating flexibility itself as evidence of SEND.

Learner Support Profile

Keep approved classroom-useful strategies available.

Reasonable Adjustments

Record agreed educational adjustments.

Provision

InterventionsConnect authorised support.

Learner Evidence

Maintain structured support separately.

Sensory and Communication

Provide relevant information to the people who need it.

Learner Voice

Understand what helps the learner participate.

Family Evidence

Include appropriate parent and carer knowledge.

Review

Keep changes to the pathway human-led. A flexible pathway does not automatically establish SEND status, statutory entitlement or the need for an EHC plan.

ALTERNATIVE PROVISION

Connect a PlacementWithout Losing the Wider Learner Journey.

Where a learner receives education through authorised alternative provision, EdiWay can maintain relevant placement context alongside the learner's wider record.

Placement

Record the relevant arrangement.

Provider

Identify the provider involved.

Attendance

Maintain appropriate placement attendance information.

Outcomes

Record suitable reviewed educational outcomes.

Evidence

Connect authorised provider information.

Review

Keep placement review activity visible.

Family Participation

Include parents and carers where appropriate.

Reintegration

Support planning for the learner’s next step where required. Detailed provider and placement management belongs to the dedicated Alternative Provision workflow.

EOTAS

Keep Education Outside School
Distinct From Ordinary School Attendance.

EOTAS requires its own clear context. EdiWay can support school-held or authorised EOTAS information around areas such as:

EOTAS Case Record

Maintain the learner-specific case context.

Provision

Record relevant education arrangements.

Providers

Maintain suitable provider information.

Tuition

Organise relevant tuition arrangements.

Attendance

Track participation within the EOTAS context.

Progress Reviews

Record appropriate reviewed progress.

Costs

Maintain relevant provision-cost context where enabled.

Family Participation

Include parents and carers appropriately.

Professional Collaboration

Connect authorised contributors.

Reintegration

Support a planned return or change of pathway where appropriate. EOTAS attendance should not simply be treated as an ordinary school register mark. EdiWay does not determine whether a learner is eligible for EOTAS or make the statutory decision that EOTAS should be provided.

REINTEGRATION AND CHANGING PATHWAYS

Support the Next Step.Preserve What Has Already Been Learned.

Flexible arrangements may change. EdiWay can help keep reviewed information connected.

Current Arrangement

Make the present pathway clear.

Review Evidence

Consider what has been learned from the current arrangement.

Learner Voice

Understand the learner’s experience.

Family View

Include appropriate parent and carer context.

Support

Identify strategies that should continue.

Actions

Make transition responsibilities clear.

Evidence

Select suitable information for continuity.

Reintegration

Preserve earlier arrangements without presenting them as current. Changing the pathway should not mean rebuilding the learner story from the beginning.

FAMILY PARTICIPATION

Give Families a Real Role.Keep School and Family Records Distinct.

Flexible education often requires closer communication with parents and carers. Where enabled, families can contribute through appropriate workflows.

Learning Evidence

Share suitable home-origin evidence.

Education Plans

Contribute to agreed planning.

Progress

Provide observations and context.

Resources

Access approved learning material.

Communication

Keep discussions connected to the learner.

Reviews

Participate in appropriate pathway review.

Support

Share strategies that work outside school.

Transition

Contribute to planning for what happens next. Family participation does not automatically give parents and carers edit rights over school-authored records.

PROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION

Bring in the Right People.For the Right Purpose.

Some flexible pathways involve professionals outside the immediate school and family. EdiWay can support defined learner relationships for authorised professionals where enabled.

Named Learner

Keep the relationship learner-specific.

Organisation

Identify who the professional represents.

Purpose

Define why access or contribution is required.

Scope

Limit information to what is appropriate.

Contribution

Keep professional evidence connected to its author.

Review

Reconsider access when the work changes.Keep placement review activity visible.

Expiry

End access when the relationship no longer requires it.

Revocation

Allow ongoing access to be removed where appropriate. Professional collaboration should not create unrestricted access to the learner’s complete school record.

TRANSITION AND LEARNER CONTINUITY

Carry Forward What Matters.Not Every Record by Default.

When a learner changes setting or pathway, selected reviewed information may need to move with them. EdiWay's learner-continuity approach can support:

Current Learner Context

Provide an appropriate overview.

Strengths

Preserve what helps the learner succeed.

Support Strategies

Carry forward suitable reviewed information.

Academic Evidence

Include relevant progress context.

Learner Voice

Keep the learner’s priorities visible.

Family Evidence

Include appropriate family contribution.

Provider Evidence

Preserve relevant authorised information.

Recipient

Define who the information is prepared for.

Purpose

Make the reason for sharing clear.

Permission

Control what the recipient is allowed to see. A transition pack is a governed snapshot for a defined transition. It is not unrestricted lifetime access to the learner record.

ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION

Record the Right Thingfor the Right Arrangement.

Attendance and participation can mean different things across education contexts.

School Attendance

Belongs to the school’s authorised registration workflow.

Alternative Provision Attendance

Relates to the relevant placement or provider activity.

EOTAS Attendance

Remains connected to the EOTAS provision context.

Home Learning Evidence

Should not be converted automatically into school attendance marks.

Participation

May provide useful educational context without becoming statutory attendance data.Keep professional evidence connected to its author.

Review

Allow authorised people to understand the evidence in the correct context. EdiWay should preserve these distinctions rather than creating one misleading attendance percentage across different arrangements.

PATHWAY REVIEW

Ask Whether the ArrangementIs Still Working for the Learner.

Flexible education arrangements should remain reviewable. Authorised people may consider:

Learner Experience

What does the learner say is working or difficult?

Participation

What education has actually taken place?

Progress Evidence

What does the relevant evidence show?

Support

Are agreed strategies and provision being delivered?

Family Evidence

What are parents and carers observing?

Provider Evidence

What information has been supplied by relevant providers?

Professional Evidence

What do authorised professionals contribute?

Next Step

Should the current educational arrangement continue, change or move towards transition? EdiWay organises the evidence around the review. It does not make the final placement or statutory decision.

PERMISSION-AWARE FLEXIBLE EDUCATION

Connect More People.Do Not Open More Data Than Necessary.

Flexible pathways can increase the number of people involved in a learner's education. That makes permission boundaries more important, not less.

School Staff

Access information required for their educational role.

Parents and Carers

Access and contribute through their authorised family relationship.

Learners

Use age-appropriate learning and participation workflows.

Providers

Receive only information required for the agreed provision.

Professionals

Contribute within a defined purpose and scope.

Local Authority Users

Should only receive access through a specifically enabled and governed relationship.

GOVERNED AI FOR FLEXIBLE PATHWAYS

Help Organise the Evidence.Keep Pathway Decisions Human.

Where enabled, EdiWay AI may assist authorised users using information they already have permission to access.

Evidence Summaries

Organise selected school, family or provider information.

Review Preparation

Prepare a working overview for pathway discussions.

Learner-Friendly Drafts

Help present approved information more clearly.

Family Communication

Draft suitable updates for human review.

Transition Preparation

Help organise selected continuity information.

Missing Information

Highlight gaps requiring human consideration. Every AI output remains a draft.

EdiWay AI does not:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Hybrid Learning and Flexible Education Pathways

What does hybrid learning mean in EdiWay?

Hybrid learning describes education taking place across more than one context, such as school and home or school and another authorised setting.

EdiWay does not treat “hybrid” as a single statutory status.

Can EdiWay connect school and home learning?

Yes.

School and home learning information can remain connected to the same learner while preserving who created the evidence and where it came from.

Can parents and carers upload learning evidence?

Family-origin evidence can be contributed through appropriate workflows where enabled.

Does home evidence automatically become a school assessment?

No.

Home-origin evidence can inform appropriate review, but formal school assessment remains a separate authorised judgement.

Can teachers assign work for learners to complete at home?

Homework and assignment workflows can make suitable learning material available outside the classroom.

Can flexible learning connect to SEND support?

Yes.

Approved support profiles, strategies, provision and relevant evidence can remain connected where authorised.

Flexible education itself does not establish SEND.

Does EdiWay support alternative provision?

Alternative provision records, placements, attendance, outcomes and reintegration-related workflows are represented within the platform scope.

Does EdiWay support EOTAS?

EdiWay includes EOTAS-oriented case, provision, attendance, progress, family and professional workflow capabilities.

Some external workspaces and collaboration functions remain subject to controlled rollout and runtime assurance.

Does EdiWay decide whether a learner should receive EOTAS?

No.

EdiWay does not determine EOTAS eligibility or make statutory education decisions.

Is EOTAS attendance the same as normal school attendance?

No.

EOTAS participation should remain connected to its own provision context rather than being silently treated as ordinary school registration.

Can EdiWay support reintegration into school?

Reintegration planning is represented within the EOTAS and alternative-provision capability set.

The decision and appropriate plan remain human-led.

Can external providers access learner information?

Where enabled, access should be restricted to the named learner, defined purpose, authorised information scope and appropriate time period.

Can local authorities access the pathway?

Local-authority collaboration should only be presented where a specific governed workflow has been enabled.

The website should not imply a universal live local-authority integration.

Can evidence follow the learner when they change setting?

Selected reviewed evidence can contribute to governed transition and learner-continuity workflows.

This should remain recipient-, purpose- and permission-aware.

Does EdiWay decide whether a flexible arrangement is suitable?

No.

EdiWay helps organise learning, evidence and review.

Educational, legal and statutory decisions remain with the people and bodies responsible for them.

Can AI design the learner's education pathway?

AI may help authorised users organise evidence or draft review material where enabled.

It does not decide the learner’s education arrangement.

CONNECTED WORKFLOWS

CURRENTLY IN LIVE TESTING

Help Shape Flexible EducationAround Real Learner Pathways.

EdiWay is undergoing active development and live testing.

Home-education profiles, education plans, learning journals, portfolio evidence, progress tracking and resource foundations are represented in the current platform scope. EOTAS capabilities include learner cases, provision and provider records, participation, progress review, reintegration, family involvement and professional collaboration.
Some cross-setting collaboration, provider workspaces, local-authority access, transition delivery and advanced permission workflows may require additional configuration, runtime assurance or controlled rollout.

EdiWay should therefore be positioned as connecting flexible learner journeys while preserving the boundaries between school, home, alternative provision and EOTAS.
