Topic outline

  • Back to School - development page

  • Confidence

    • Learner guides are an existing resource which are helpful to students – but they need to know about them and for their teacher to highlight and bring this into their learning.  For example the RAG grids could be used as a way of gauging level of confidence for each topic/question type.


    • Overview - so what?

      • RAG extracted from existing learner guides.
      • Learner records their confidence with the subject
      • Data stored on own device, so it remembers the choices
      • Targeted mainly at mobile devices, but works across anything - see video example
      • Part of wrap around support - could be used in conjunction with other resources

    • Confidence sliders


    • To do

      • Improve presentation - especially on desktop. Minor tweaks for mobile
      • Identify coverage - which subjects? Direct copy from learner guides?

  • Mini quizzes

    • Mini quizzes in a wide range of subjects – we could have a prototype to show the concept.  Need to have sufficient to indicate approach and give the idea – enable teachers to develop their own.


    • Kahoot example quiz


    • Overview - so what?

      • Quick classroom activity
      • Core subject knowledge quiz OR skills linked to subject
      • Pitch: "Core subject knowledge are intended as enjoyable and reasonably quick classroom activities with which teachers can re-engage their students with learning in the subject – let’s have some fun together with this quiz – it’s not an exam – and we can all see what we can remember – it’s bound to reveal things that we need to refresh ourselves about"

    • NOTE - these quizzes currently only link to Andrew Field's company Kahoot account which is a trial no-cost version. For us to share and use these, we need to pay for an account
