Detailed, concise, easy to access and empowers pupils to take ownership of their own learning.

I use audiopi a lot with A level , the students love them and can access easily on the app to revise , listen to debate etc I wish they did more topics. I have limited access for GCSE history , but USA module very popular with students. Great revision aid.
Geraldine Rimmer found Audiopi:

- Reduces teacher workload“It’s another tool to engage and encourage debate / discussion. The podcasts are interesting and engaging , not like some very dull textbooks !!”

I was an audio learner myself as a student, except in those days my father had to source lectures on my core texts on tape from publishers. He found many of the core texts on audio, but rarely found analytical material. Now this fills a gap long needed by audio learners. Horaay!
Elizabeth Tunnicliffe found Audiopi:
- Improves attainment“We have enjoyed fantastic results for GCSE Literature since using AudioPi as a revision tool.”
- Builds student knowledge“Often, the lecturers will have the very knowledge that a tired teacher could spend hours researching online. Here, you can at the click of a button, hear experts giving all the background context needed. For example, the Gothic features of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde were clearly explained in ways my weaker learners could understand.”
- Increases student collaboration“Careful listening and pausing to replay is a personal activity.”
- Reduces attainment gap“What attainment gap?”
- Reduces teacher workload“The comparisons of the poems are really helpful. The lecturers often see links between poems that we cannot see while writing the lesson the night before a class. It is a Godsend to the overworked teacher whose brain is not supplying the answers readily.”
