ICT KS4
"MyWorks is an ICT solution that will certainly save teachers’ time and will be an asset in any school." (ICT for Education)
58 formative quizzes and 32 interactive revision lessons cover the 2010 GCSE specifications for AQA, OCR, Edexcel, WJEC and CCEA, offering your department a solution for transforming homework and classwork setting as well as assessment.
Intuitive, easy-to-use assessments
As all quizzes are self-marking and ready-made, they can be used by both specialist and non-specialist ICT teachers as well as cover teachers.
Feedback after each question guides students through the assessment, showing a score-card at the end so they know how they've performed.
Helpful learning objectives screens are shown at the beginning of every activity to show students the quiz what they will be tested on, and the total marks available.
Fun, interactive assessments for all learners
Each interactive quiz contains a variety of question formats, such as multiple-choice, click-to-link and drag-and-drop that keep your students focused on their homework.
Each quiz and revision lesson features audio clips, providing aural learners with a different way of approaching homework.
Formative recap material that teaches as it tests
MyWorks does more than just test – it also teaches. Students are given helpful feedback after every question. Any incorrect answers prompt a dedicated, interactive recap screen that actually teaches the information needed to answer the question.
As well as being mapped to five exam boards (Edexcel, AQA, OCR, CCEA and WJEC), MyWorks tests students' understanding both of concepts and of popular software.
The 32 revision quizzes cover all the mini-quiz topics as well as four skills quizzes, encouraging students to learn as well as be tested.
