Did you go with this in the end? I've been asked to look consider it.

 

Is there anything similar out there?

We bought it around 6 months ago - it's not cheap, but the staff have bought into it and most students or using it as either homework or class work tasks.

 

We've setup the MIS integration too, so the classes are kept up-to-date each day through Groupcall emerge.

Same for us, we bought into it for a couple of subjects last academic year and I think we now have it for all subjects (I don't exactly know as we had no involvement in the procurement and only found out we had it when it had a problem). Uptake seems good though, departments using it in class and also for homework. I've seen my two step children using it at home as well.

We've bought in to it for science this year. It does seem a pretty comprehensive resource and the new quizzes and mini-tests are very good.

The big issue that I have with it is that the bulk of the resource is built around the old Boardworks PowerPoints, which in their day were very good. However these have not been updated for many years and all of the interactive content is Flash based with all its inherent problems. We are big iPad users and so can't use it on a lot of our devices.

Another school in our MAT has the whole package and is using the new tracking system for monitoring KPIs at KS3 which does look very good.
