SAM Learning

Alison Harrold, Online platform lead/ Psychology & PE Teacher: To sign into the platform it only requires them to use their school email for their ID and Password. This is brilliant!! It is easy to reset if they accidently sign themselves out of the platform. This can be done by all staff who have access to the platform. They can access the platform anytime and anywhere – on a school computer, laptop or phone. It has adaptative A.I. that guides students to improve their score if they have not achieved 80%. It encourages students to get a higher score than their friends and climb the leader board as part of our schools house cup competition. They can choose from a range of activities to complete across major GCSE & KS3 subjects.
gavin byford, deputy head: really like it both staff and students really like it
Bola Macarthy, Deputy Head Teacher: I would like to see more instruction led activities. There is also no way of checking answers that require independent learning and across all the schools I have worked in, the students will type anything. I would also want it to have voice enabled tasks, for special educational needs students.

Jack, Head of Sixth Form: I love it, but wish the amount of topics was wider e.g. History doesn't have all the available A Level topics.
Dafydd Humphreys, Interim Deputy: It saves so much time and the pupils engage with it well - support is also very responsive and training knowledge base covers all angles.
Enrique, Head of Geography: No videos or revision boosters for students

Seneca Learning

Schools have the option to integrate Seneca with their MIS, whether it is SIMS, Arbor, SchoolBase, iSAMS or any other provider. If they do that, it takes no time to set up, as all information is automatically synced.

If this option is not used, then students and teachers need to manually create accounts and teachers must invite students to join their classes. It's a very easy and straightforward process.
