Increased usage over time is linked to improved attainment above predicted grades.
Eilish Hanworth, Class Teacher: Just brilliant - children and teachers love it and the results are evident.Mark Stephenson, STEM Lead and Y3 Teacher: Such a great resource to use. Thousands of question sets at the click of a button that our children from Y1-Y6 love using.John Coombs, Teacher/ Maths Coordinator: The use of Learning by Questions has changed my teaching, changed the attitude towards learning of my pupils, has significantly helped to reduce the time I spend as a teacher planning and marking and most importantly has had a positive impact on the attainment of all the pupils that use it.Maggie Paule, Teacher / Coordinator: I gave the score 10/10 since GCSEpod has been our main source of lessons ever since. It is also updated every now and then that gives us recent topics for the subjects given.Adam Speight, Acting Assistant Headteacher: Having used many different e-learning platforms to date in my career, GCSEPod is by far the leader in terms of interface design and the processes they adopt in order to ensure quality assurance of the materials they provide to users.Richard Ward, Director of Science: Whilst GCSEPod has everything a teacher and a student needs, feedback from colleagues and students is that it is not the most user friendly interface compared to other platforms they use like Sparx.
The quality of the resources is exceptional and the new KS3 format is perfect for students to easily navigate but the original content is still a little cluttered. The most common request I receive from Pod Leads is the desire to find all Check and Challenge questions in one place or the ability to assign them. Disengaged students will not work through the modules and then find the tasks themselves. For engaged students however, GCSEPod is fantastic as they appreciate exactly what the platform provides creating their own revision playlists.
If the GCSE content could be assigned to flow like the KS3 content then I would award it 10 stars.
I'd also like to add that the team at GCSEPod are phenomenal. They take on board suggestions and provide support immediately. They assist with setting bespoke competitions for our academies and the platform runs without any glitches or issues.
No client software installation is required for teachers using LbQ because it is cloud based and runs in a browser. The system requires internet connected pupil devices.
A sound IT manager to white-list a few URLs in school and integrate GCSEPod with MIS. For teachers and students, using GCSEPod is very simple - like using Netflix or Spotify
Getting started with LbQ is a relaxed session, held every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, where we walk you through the platform and show you how to run a Question Set with your class. Feel free to ask questions - that's what we're all about.
If you have been running LbQ in your classroom, saving yourself valuable time and seeing your pupils rocket, then you might want to step things up with our 'Beyond the Basics' course.
These sessions are held every other Monday and involve tailoring LbQ to your class and advanced interventions (not as scary as it sounds!). This is an informal session where we hope you will join in and have a chat with us. 'Beyond the Basics' also acts as a clinic, so if you have any questions then please book on and we'll give you all the assistance you need.
Presentations, best practice sharing platform, idea generation with Project Manager, YouTube videos
