Encounter Edu is designed to be as flexible as possible. Teachers and parents may want to use just a single video or lesson. However, it has more impact when the different sections are integrated. For instance, teach a lesson, view a 360-degree gallery, take part in a live broadcast and then review.

K.Hodgetts, Head of Science: such a range of resources on the website with so many more I still want to use, I just have to choose which ones and when to incorporate into my planning.

Liudmyla, EFL Teacher: The amount of information, researches, Live lessons, experiments and live discussion with explorers and scientists are of significant importance for education and future jobs choice. Teachers and students with their parents can find here a lot of explanations on how to solve problems we face today and how to make this world better!

Requirements

BOFA KS2

Tests are done on computers/tablet devices, so pupils will need access to these. In terms of setting up, we have detailed explanation pages on our website that help schools get started. We have made the process as simple as possible: schools register with us, buy a subscription, then import pupil information using a CVS file and our system does the rest. We offer a range of Demo Tests that showcase how we work which schools and pupils can use to familiarise themselves with the way BOFA works. Pupils will be issued a username by their teachers, so this needs to be set up before pupils can begin using BOFA. We are known for our excellent customer service and pride ourselves on responding to customer queries promptly. We are always happy to guide new users through the set up process via phone or email. Pupils always seem to take to BOFA very quickly and our new adaptive tests remove all teacher admin requirements.

Encounter Edu

Encounter Edu requires a device with good internet connection. The website is responsive, so all sections can be viewed on a mobile, tablet or laptop and projected in a classroom. It may be easier to view downloaded resources on a tablet or laptop device. To use 360-degree media, classes can choose options from using projector and white board, tablets or smartphones and virtual reality viewers. For live lessons, teachers will need to display the live video and have access to Zoom or YouTube depending on the lesson they are joining.
