LES System NPC (Ligbron e-Learning System) is a Non-Profit Company that focuses on mathematics and science subjects in Secondary schools. Our head offices are situated at Ligbron Academy of Technology in Ermelo, Mpumalanga. We have full time technical and administrative staff that manage the projects 24/7. We operate in 9 provinces and use the passionate teachers at Ligbron Academy to share their expertise by using classroom technology and videoconferencing methods. Our aim is to improve results and also focusing on teacher development and training. We have been awarded with several national and international education awards and are proud to serve the learners of our country.
Ligbron e-Learning System connects schools all over SA to an online learning network. Live streaming of mathematics and science lessons are shared by using video conferencing and desktop sharing. Each e-Learning classroom has an e-Boxx with a SMART interactive whiteboard, LCD screen with a digital camera, sound system and microphone. The LCD screen shows the image of the teachers/learners from linked schools, enabling them to take an active part in the lesson.
The SMARTboards display the presentation of the presenter and any student and teacher can write on the SMARTboard and ask questions from their own school and it will be displayed and heard at all schools.

IN BRIEF THE SUCCESS OF THE LIGBRON E-LEARNING SYSTEM CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO
Clear, concise maths & science lessons that follow exactly the curriculum as laid out by the Dept of Education. These lessons are streamed live at pre-arranged times on three days of every week.
Questions and answers evolving from these lessons are highlighted.
Project management is a key component and includes regular contact by phone, constant monitoring of the log-in to live sessions, quarterly meetings with all e-Learning teachers to address and assist them with any problems they may encounter plus pre- and post-testing.
The Online Resource centre is available to all connected schools.
Ligbron e-Learning System also includes all day-to-day lessons in Maths and Science from Grades 8-12.
Teachers are given software training and receive a certificate after successful completion.
All equipment is safe-guarded with stringent security including steel enclosures with 3-way locking systems and pepper-spray alarm systems.
OUR PROJECT MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE
1. | INSTALLATION
All installations are carried out by the Ligbron e-Learning technical team, asset registers are set up and signed by all principals who take responsibility for the equipment.
2. | TRAINING
Every e-Learning teacher gets software training and receives a certificate after successful completion. Teachers also get basic practical hands-on technical training to help them sort out problems.
3. | MONITORING
All schools are monitored using the following processes: • Quarterly meetings with all e-Learning teachers to assist and support. • Year-to-Year results of the Grade 12s. • Pre-/Post Testing. • Log-in statistics are compiled to monitor each transmission to every school. • Grade 12s have to write a "Grade 11 Knowledge Test" to determine their knowledge of Grade 11 work after which the teacher can analyse which Grade 11 work to revise again as the CAPS document doesn't allow for time in the pacesetter for revision even though Grade 11 work counts for 50% of the exam papers. • Ligbron e-Learning uses a wireless-connected server as well as a cloud server to share resources to all these schools. The following resources are available: Admin: Meeting Minutes, Asset Registers, Reports, Calendars & Knowledge Tests. Maths & Science: Test and Exam papers, Memos, Lesson Notes, Recorded Lessons.
4. | MAINTENANCE
The Ligbron e-Learning technical team is responsible for all maintenance of software, hardware, internet issues and any technical problems that the schools may experience and cannot solve themselves. Routine visits take place to try and preclude this from happening.
