What is Seneca Learning?

Seneca online learning is a homework and revision platform with 1000+ exam board specific interactive courses.

Seneca classroom is used by 9,000,000 students, teachers and parents and is one of the fastest growing homework and revision platforms in the UK. The Seneca Learning app combines tech and neuroscience, and is proven to let students learn 2x faster than traditional revision guides. At the same time, it helps teachers save time marking homework, monitor students' progress, and improve study engagement.

Students can pick from 1000+ KS2, KS3, GCSE & A Level courses based on exam board specifications. The content has been condensed to what students need to know for their exams. Teachers can also create classes and set homework for any revision topic on the study platform creating the perfect lesson plan.

The Seneca app uses smart learning algorithms that help students remember topics better. If they get a question wrong, they are instantly shown the content again but in a different format, and at a time when it’s optimal for the student to learn it. Best of all, Seneca have hand-selected the best GIFs and memes on the internet so revision makes students laugh instead of stressed.

Szymon

Student

Used Seneca Learning weekly for 1-2 years

Jan 2023

I picked this score because seneca is really efficient, gives the right topics, questions are simple to answer no matter the difficulty, and you are allowed to retry sections to improve your knowledge in these sections, It also gives a lot of help on the question so you do not get stuck and you could also take notes to remember these questions in the future for you to revise for a test for example.

Szymon found Seneca Learning:
  • Significantly saves school money
    No
  • Significantly improves teaching efficiency
    Where paper homework is given, it is bad for the environment and it can also get lost by other students which causes issues.
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    Since the homework on paper doesn't provide much tips on solving a question, a student can likely struggle with the homework and get lower marks.

Olly Lewis

Head of Science

The British International School Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Used Seneca for 7 months

Apr 2019

I gave 9 marks as the platform has reduced workload, is free so saved my department money, enabled some independence for students, has proven to be an effective revision tool and the students have benefited from using it.

Olly Lewis found Seneca:
  • Moderately builds student knowledge
    Reinforces teaching points, students can work at their own pace, low-stakes, able to repeatedly work through topics
  • Moderately improves teaching efficiency and productivity
    Seneca Learning has enabled staff to spend more time on content in the safe knowledge that students can use the platform as part of their revision toolkit. It has also meant reduced workload as we have set sections as homework which we know we don't need to mark as it does it for us.

Teacher of Geography

Used seneca for 6 months

Feb 2019

I have recommended it widely already and lots of my friends now use it in their schools and colleges. I have widely promoted in college and we are now logging 200 study hours every week! Sorry you is also excellent though social media and email. And it's free!

Simon Holland found seneca:
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    I did some action research which showed that use of Seneca appears to significantly improve mock performance year on year for similar ability students. You can see the extra detail and understanding in the students work too.
  • Significantly improves teaching efficiency and productivity
    It's self marking and very easy to set up and run. Allows very easy monitoring of students homework, committment and progress with little effort.
  • Significantly saves school money
    Its paperless and so saves lots of money on printing homework. Its free to use so much cheaper than other systems that are out there we have used in the past. Works brilliantly on mobile phones so very accessible

Sj Benfield

Science KS3 Coordinator

Used seneca for 2 months

Jan 2019

The learning platform is easy to use and enguaging for students. They love the leader board names and competing against each other in terms of questions answered and time spent. In science the content is appropriate and curriculum linked. As an organisation Seneca is very progressive and constantly looking to improve. I have attend good quality CPD and would highly recommend - nearly three months in and our students from KS3 and 4 are loving it.

Sj Benfield found seneca:
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    Lots of teachers in science comparing assessment data before and after using Seneca - significant increase in real terms (grades) and engagement.
  • Significantly improves teaching efficiency and productivity
    We are using Seneca Learning to set homework. Self marking, reducing teacher work load, making tick box homework setting meaningless and out dated. Staff feel more motivated to support students in the homework and revision process - running after school Seneca Clubs.
  • Significantly saves school money
    Why would cash strapped schools pay for photocopying of ineffective homework materials and revision resources and/or pay for other platforms like GCSEPod (that is often riddled with errors) when they can use a free evidence based resource.
