ICT KS3
MyWorks KS3 ICT is based on the Programme of Study and Framework. Across more than 70 interactive assessments and 39 revision activities, MyWorks provides meaningful assessment results over a range of focused topic areas.
Fun, interactive assessments for all learners
Each interactive quiz contains a variety of question formats that keep students focused on their homework and suit all learning styles and abilities.
Aural clips support auditory learners by reading aloud large chunks of text and recap screens.
Revision lessons ensure students are learning at home as well as at school. All quizzes can be retaken as many times as needed.
Varied quiz types for tailored assessment
MyWorks features quiz types that help you target specific learning needs. Mini quizzes focus on core topics, extension quizzes challenge more able students and skills quizzes focus on developing application, analysis and interpretation skills.
"Super quizzes give a very accurate level, which really helps monitor progress." (Hannah Beecham, ICT teacher, The Marches School and Technology College)
Self-marking tests and detailed reporting
At the end of the test, students are presented with a printable report which gives a detailed breakdown of results for every question. The final score is fed back instantly, allowing teachers to easily follow individual students’ progress.
