Compare Seneca Learning vs DoodleLearning

Doodle is designed to be used for 10 minutes a day, or ‘little and often’, using Doodle in this way has been proven by the University of Bath to raise attainment and reduce learning loss.

Seneca runs on desktop, laptop, tablet or phone. Users can download the free app from the Apple and Google stores.

Children can download all Doodle programmes onto a mobile or tablet device from the App Store, Google Play or the Amazon Store, so no computers or laptops are necessary. These apps can be used offline, making them ideal for use in school or at home.

Browser versions of the programmes are also available to access from a laptop or desktop.

Teachers can use the Teacher Dashboard, an online hub that tracks pupil progress, on a laptop or desktop. DoodleLearning supports staff in generating pupil usernames, or schools can create these themselves.

Parents can also access the Parent Dashboard online from a laptop or desktop, and download the free DoodleConnect app from the App Store, Google Play or the Amazon Store.

No training is needed, but we do offer onboarding calls for free.

All subscriptions include online training for staff, a school strategy webinar and an online bank of resources that can be accessed at any time.

The strategy webinar provides staff with an opportunity to meet their personal School Success Advisor and covers how to make the most out of Doodle, ideas for programme usage and how to reward and celebrate pupils’ achievements.

Launch webinars and presentations for parents and children are also available.

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.
