Richard Ward found GCSEPod:

• Significantly reduces teacher workload“GCSEPod provides teachers with ready-made revision material from videos, questions and quizzes to give students a simple and effective way to revise packaged to suit the way young people engage with content in the 21st century. The platform covers all content from KS3 to KS4 especially for science providing teachers with easy and quick-setting homework tasks which are assessed and can be monitored with efficiently. In addition, non-specialist teachers can use the platform to quickly refresh their subject knowledge saving time trying to find the content elsewhere, knowing the content is exam-board specific and accurate.”
• Significantly improves teaching efficiency“As mentioned in the previous question, teachers can watch videos to refresh their subject knowledge in 3-4 minutes and can use GCSEPod to set routine homework tasks without the need to create and mark their own resources.”
• Moderately improves teacher knowledge“Again, as mentioned before, non-specialist teachers are finding GCSEPod supports their own learning of unfamiliar content. Most science teachers are specialists in a single discipline yet are required to teach biology, chemistry and physics stepping out of their comfort zone. For ITTs and ECTs, GCSEPod gives them example questions and activities they can use when planning their lessons.”
• Significantly improves attainment“There is a positive correlation between more hours spent learning and outcomes. Unfortunately, there is a decline in the volume of work that students complete at home. Research shows that both flipped learning and repeated interleaved learning results in higher attainment. GCSEPod provides this as students can prepare for new learning by watching videos in advance but also revisit learning once the lessons have been taught. In an ideal world, teachers would be able to teach their students the same topics multiple times but with the size of the content in the science curriculum, most topics are taught once and then only revisited prior to assessments. Having GCSEPod is like having a tutor on hand to remind you of the content and application required whenever required.”
• Significantly builds student knowledge“Across our Trust, there is a direct relationship between the students that use GCSEPod the most and the improvement in grades from trial assessments to their terminal examinations. Revisiting the content by watching videos and answering Check and Challenge questions allows teachers to focus more on the application of that content and to practice exam-style questions especially in science where often questions are based on novel scenarios that the students are unfamiliar with.”
