Q. How much content is there in Learning Bug?

 Q. Is it possible to define Learning Bug in a single sentence?

A.  No. Sorry about that...  Learning Bug is not like most other educational software, so it takes a little getting used to.  The best way to understand it is to see it in action - we recommend booking a place on one of our Open Days where you'll see sessions running and get to speak to teachers and students who use the Bug regularly.
