Compare Educake vs Access GCSEPod

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.

Increased usage over time is linked to improved attainment above predicted grades.

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 have recently partnered with Wonde to improve single sign-on for schools.

Teachers can book a demo to get an idea of how Educake works before committing to a subscription.

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 if 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.
