ActiveLearn Digital Service is the service that combines time-saving planning and assessment
materials, front-of-class teaching resources, and online auto-marked homework and practice
to help you plan, teach, track and assess, all in one place.
These resources have been designed to support a single simple, inclusive and inspiring teaching
approach for science from Year 7 all the way through to GCSE.
With thousands of science teachers and their learners, already logging into ActiveLearn
Digital Service every day, the ActiveLearn Digital Service has been described as "actively
brilliant... an incredibly well-thought-out online innovation that is rich in content,
support and learning". So what's all the fuss about?
Great teaching starts with good planning. ActiveLearn Digital Service provides plenty
of materials to help you out and to save you time.
We understand that Science lessons require a lot more upfront preparation so our planner
tool allows you to edit, personalise and save each lesson plan within one time-saving place.
Here you will have full coverage of all the teaching ideas and links to the supporting
resources.
Our front-of-class resources are designed to support great success in science. These
resources are structured around a teaching and learning approach that draws on best practice
formative assessment and progression techniques. We call this teaching and learning approach
'checkpoint'. The presentation materials include online
versions of the Student books, packed with useful extra features and functionality. You
can zoom in on individual questions and artwork. You can also access hundreds of front-of-class
resources, including videos, animations, presentations, thousands of worksheets and assessments.
Once you've taught the lesson, you can set homework by simply selecting the pre-prepared
worksheets either from the front-of-class Student Book or from the Homework, Practice
and Support part of the site. This area allows you to easily set work for
classes, groups or individual students. Exercises can be set as homework to reinforce classroom
work, or you can set work to a group or an individual, to improve understanding of a
specific topic. The Homework Practice Service includes a huge
range of online student exercises, ranging from specific knowledge retention activities
to self-marked exam-style long answer questions.
When you've finished teaching a section of content you will want to assess your student's
progress. ActiveLearn Digital Service for science has
one consistent assessment system that goes from Year 7 to the end of GCSE.
Students take short tests and depending on their mark will receive a Step between 1 and
12. Students can continue taking assessments using this system throughout their five years
of study. Students should aim to make around one Step
of progress per year. We call this the Progression scale.
You can review the results of individual students or groups and also review student progress
over time. Reports for sharing with colleagues or parents, or to add to other reporting software
used by your school, are available for download. Don't take our word for it, try it for yourself.
Subscribe today and start making use of these time-saving, easy to use resources which will
help you confidently and conveniently plan, deliver and report all in one place.
