An online educational programme comprising five age levels for 5-13 year olds, each containing 12 lessons plans, 12 slide decks, 2 Rapid Fire Quizzes, 10 digital workbooks and 10 short computer games which contain questions to assess children’s learning. There is a digital leaderboard on which students can compete, either within their school or across the Gooseberry platform.
The content is English language and for less able readers, the quiz, workbook and game questions are available audibly. Answers are recorded online, providing teachers with automated assessment. Results are displayed in easy to access graphs and downloadable spreadsheets, providing detailed feedback on both class and individual responses.
There is a web-based teacher app to facilitate use of the digital workbooks. Each lesson is accompanied by advice for parents, on a free app which accompanies the product.
