Engage students remotely with Shiken’s distance learning and assignment features, play live in class or over video, and manage your students and their progress in Shiken’s LMS.
Creating a learning game on Shiken takes minutes not hours. You can create a quiz from scratch, use a question set or learning products from the Shiken store or use our question bank to mix and match existing questions.
Host a live multiplayer game in class or via a video conferencing tool to connect students remotely. Questions and answers are displayed on a shared screen and on students’ screens so there’s no worrying about whether everyone joined your video conference.
Set homework or assignments using student-paced games. Set deadlines and send challenges to the whole class or groups of students and let them compete against each other at their own pace.
Stress and anxiety levels are high in all students especially around exam-time.
Stress has been shown to not only impact mood but also lead to poor academic performance.
Shiken integrates mindful practice into our app and even sends students daily motivational quotes to keep them focused and engaged during revision periods.
Teachers have too much admin and even creating quiz questions can take time.
Jump into our content library of over 50,000 quiz games and courses covering key exams and stages.
