  • Learning activities including Drag and Drops, Mazes, Matching Pairs and Shuffling Games allowing students to assess their understanding of topics. Great for kinaesthetic learners.
  • Extended practice with WebQuests building on key concepts and encouraging independent research; perfect for developing more advanced students.
  • Checking understanding with Test Yourself questions, which students have to answer at the beginning of the learning outcome. These are auto-marked and provide feedback so students know where and how they need to improve.
