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.
Independent studies commissioned by the Education Endowment Foundation and the Family Fisher Trust from 2002 to 2020 report that SAM Learning significantly improves students' GCSE grades with as little as 10+ hours of usage.
Rebeka Rangelov, Head of English: Excellent serviceRichard Benn, Head of English: It's brilliant--but forms or quiz sheets after each podcast would make it perfect.Katy, Head of History: Now has all our A Level classes covered and nearly has all our GCSE classesChris, Second in Science: Its mostly good. Some activities are well written and fun, others need reviewing and improving.Gillian, 2nd in Department of MFL: I use Sam Learning mainly for homework to consolidate learning done in class and to give students the opportunity to try out short exam style tasks for independent learning.
Students find the tasks accessible and easy to navigate and appreciate getting their scores immediately.
Other schools should use Sam Learning to save time in planning and marking as there is a good range of tasks available on all aspects of the course and if you want something specific which is not there, you can create your own tasks as well.Sam Frith, Teacher of ICT & Computer Science: Really good
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.
Launch and setup is supported by our technical team - we work with school Network Admin.
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
