There are several key functions to Student Access:
- Students have access to all notes related to the contents of the course. Essentially, they can use the website as a comprehensive e-textbook for the entire course.
- It allows students to directly access most, but not all, pages (such as examination papers and mark schemes, as well as other teacher support materials).
- It enables teachers to create tasks for their students (refer to the Smart Quizzes section of the website).
- It helps to consolidate student learning and facilitates revision (such as the Paper 1 MCQ tasks, which all come with answers that have explanations).
- It allows teachers to monitor the progress of their students using the grade book.
To get started, go to the Student Access tab in the top left corner of the home page.
We know at InThinking that the strength and growth of the community of teachers using our sites rely on word of mouth. If you are enjoying the website, please share your insights through your own connections and social networks. We are certainly keen on hearing from you, guiding the site's future developments.
