NEW- Material from online courses to support your lessons

Our courses are filled with high-quality videos exploring concepts in a visual way that are great for introducing new themes. All videos in our courses can be accessed online or can be downloaded and used in a classroom. 

For example, the video ‘The search for habitable planets’ in Atmospheric Chemistry course can be used to spark discussions in the classroom or to highlight specific concepts explored in your teaching. 

The online courses contain lots of high-quality interactive exercises that both visualise information and walk through real-life scenarios. For example, the ‘Comparing profiles’ exercise in Managing your Online Identity can be used to prompt discussion in the classroom or to provide a ready-made formative assessment with feedback.

Our courses are filled with printable, ready-made activities that you can use to engage and inspire your students. By downloading accessible PDFs, you can easily incorporate individual tasks, group work and formative assessment into your lesson.

For example, ‘Comparing profiles’ from Learning Online: Managing Your Online Identity can be used as a self-assessment or peer-assessment in your lesson or to stimulate discussion around online profiles.

Our courses cover a lot of topics and key terms that are helpfully compiled into glossaries. You can support the learning of key terms by providing the glossaries as a printout or using them for formative assessment.

For example, the glossary in the Anatomy: Know your Abdomen course provides clear definitions of the complex terms used and is matched with a video that explains how some of the terms are linked to each other.

Our courses provide the opportunity to assess learning both formally and informally. All multiple-choice quizzes assess understanding in meaningful ways and frequently use real-life scenarios.

For example, the 'Learning Online: Communicating and Collaborating' course contains a quiz that can be used to check the understanding of group work and online collaborative tools.

Our courses are designed for self-directed learning by allowing you or your students to work at their own pace and revisit information whenever they want. This makes it the perfect tool for research projects, homework and extension activities.
