Compare Audiopi vs Educake

Not specifically, though focussing student listening to the podcasts relevant to lesson plans amplifies the impact and benefit of each taught lesson. Each podcast series is created to exam board specification to give students exactly what they need to understand their subject. Individual podcasts are around 15 minutes long, are highly accessible, and designed to maximise engagement & focus, and are complete tutorials on key themes. Teachers licensing specific subjects/topics, can directly guide podcast tutorial usage to support their lesson plans & progress through a subject/topic. Our podcasts improve subject engagement, knowledge foundations, deepen understanding, and encourage critical thinking. It's good practice to use our podcasts to prep for, and then reinforce, lessons. We can also guide homework, fast-track periodic recall, and revision very easily - with selection of the appropriate podcast from each topic.

Using Educake several times a week helps to check understanding of new topics. Setting revision of past topics enables students to actively demonstrate what they know and build stronger recall in a low-pressure environment.

An internet connected device with audio output (headphones or speakers) is all that is required to access our podcasts once the relevant School, or Individual Subscription license has been purchased. Our platform works on Web & Mobile Web browsers, and we have iOS and Android apps for a mobile experience. Schools Subscribers will be guided through the simple and basic set-up - which includes sharing and cascading a school username & login, and basic how-to guidance. A school's library will be pre-populated with licensed content - and can be added to simply, at any time. Individual Subscribers will create a username & password as part of the sign-up process, before being able to access what they need. We advise that individual subscribers (usually parents) check the exam boards that their children's schools use to navigate to the correct podcasts.

To use Educake you need access to the internet. For teachers desktop access is required. Students can use Educake on a mobile device, with or without our app. To log in, teachers need an email address and password. Students need a username and password. Google and Microsoft single sign-on means it's easy to get started.

We provide a simple user-guide PDF for schools, and best practice guides. No specific training is required - the beauty is in the elegance of the podcast content. Select > Click > Listen

Once you subscribe to Educake, we recommend booking in a departmental training session to understand the basics of Educake so you can hit the ground running. These are usually completed online but we can also come into school is you’re local to our Educake office.

After a few months of using Educake, we offer a Top Tips training session which uses teacher feedback to share best practice to make sure you’re fully utilising all the features which will benefit your department or school. As we’re continually adding new development to Educake, this is also a good opportunity to get teacher feedback to help us continue to add value to the platform.

We also have teachers videos ready to share in your CPD sessions at school plus we’re working on videos for parents and students now.
