Most Helpful Reviews

SAM Learning

Chris, 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
