The sprawling system is used by 600 preschools and 177 schools, with separate logins for every teacher, student, and parent. The platform is a complex system that’s made up of three different parts, containing 18 individual modules that are maintained by five external companies. Commissioned in 2013, the system was intended to make the lives of up to 500,000 children, teachers, and parents in Stockholm easier-acting as the technical backbone for all things education, from registering attendance to keeping a record of grades. The Skolplattform wasn’t meant to be this way. “All the users and the parents were angry,” Landgren says. Two years after its launch in August 2018, the Skolplattform had become a constant thorn in the side of thousands of parents across Sweden’s capital city. If working out what his children needed in their gym kit was a hassle, then working out how to report them as sick was a nightmare. Landgren would dig through endless convoluted menus to find out what his children were doing at school.

Every day the separated father of three was wasting precious time trying to get the City of Stockholm’s official school system, Skolplattform, to work properly. The notion of completing my Albion collection always lurks in the back of my mindĪnd then we have Sonokinetic's crazy 12 Days of Christmas sale in December! I already own almost everything by Sonokinetic, except for their woodwinds library.Christian Landgren’s patience was running out. There are a few other Spitfire libraries I might consider if sale prices are tempting enough. I don't expect it to be discounted for BF, but I figure it can contribute to reaching Spitfire's purchase threshold to earn a free library, if they offer one this year.

I already have AROOF, but none of the expansions, so the bundle is perfect. I've already made the one big Black Friday purchase on my list - the complete Output bundle.Īll that remains on my list is Spitfire's Abbey Road Collection. I think it's because we've been inundated with a non-stop barrage of sales all year long, and as a result, I'm pretty much all stocked up. So far, this is a fairly low key Black Friday for me.
