Question 1

Is it free for teachers?

Accepted Answer

The teacher demo is free and needs no credit card. Licensing is per school or per MAT, per year, with a free classroom pilot before any commitment.

Question 2

Which specifications does it map to?

Accepted Answer

Knowledge Check questions are written for 23 courses, including Pearson Edexcel, BTEC, AQA, OCR, Eduqas, WJEC, Cambridge and IB, and the teacher's class analysis shows the topic of each question in the course you chose. During play students see plain instructions, not specification codes. The Curriculum page shows where the key decisions meet Pearson Edexcel (GCSE 1BS0, A level 9BS0) and BTEC National topics.

Question 3

Do students need to install anything or make accounts?

Accepted Answer

No. It runs in the browser on a laptop, desktop or Chromebook, one screen per student. Students open the link and join with a 6-digit PIN and a first name, nothing to download and no logins to manage.

Question 4

How many students, and how long does it take?

Accepted Answer

From 6 to 32 students, in up to 8 firms of 3 or 4. After up to 3 minutes of setup there are three rounds, and you set each round to 10, 15, 20 or 25 minutes, so a session fits a one-hour lesson or a longer one.

Question 5

What does the teacher see and control?

Accepted Answer

A live control panel: pause and resume the rounds, start the round 3 crisis, see every student’s role and activity, and project the live chart of every firm’s net position. Afterwards each student downloads a private report, and your class analysis arrives by email within 48 hours, with indicative learning evidence.

Question 6

Does it mark my students?

Accepted Answer

No. It produces no automatic or official mark and no score out of 100, and the reports rank firms, not students. It records decisions and multiple-choice question results, and shows the specification topic of each question, as indicative learning evidence. Students can download a certificate of completion that records participation only. Assessment stays with the teacher.

Question 7

How is it licensed?

Accepted Answer

One licence per school, or per MAT, per year, never per seat and never per student. You run a free classroom pilot first, then request a quote.
