From the lesson to the homework results
Real screens from one Alkenes lesson: what you download, what pupils do on their phones afterwards, and what comes back to you.
Every lesson, ready to download
Pick your exam board and topic. Each lesson has its Lesson Slides, Class Handout and lesson plan, online homework, results and the 3D models.
3D models on the board
Open a model full screen from its slide and step through it with the class.
Your class QR on the handout
The last page of every Class Handout you download carries your class’s QR code and class code.
Ten questions on their phone
Pupils scan, join your class and answer. They see their mark and the right answers straight away, with links to the matching revision notes.
A mark book that fills itself in
Every pupil’s mark and every question ticked or crossed, with a CSV download.
What the class gets, and what to fix next lesson
Once 70% of the class have handed in, you get a written analysis: what they do well, the misconceptions behind the wrong answers, and what to do about each one. Pupils’ names are never sent for the analysis.
Screens from a demonstration class with example pupils.
No sign-up screens in your classroom
Pupils can read the notes without an account. At home, after a number of notes, a pupil is asked to create a free account, which also keeps their progress. In school we would rather that never happened mid-lesson.
Register your school’s network once, and every pupil reading on it is never asked to sign up, until the end of the school year.
- Use a computer that is on the school’s network, not a phone on mobile data.
- Press the button below. It takes a second and asks for nothing.
- That is it. Pupils on the same network read freely until 31 August.
Done. This network is recognised until 31 August, and pupils on it will not be asked to sign up.
That did not work from this connection. Try again from a school computer, or email us.
We store a one-way scrambled form of the network address, never the address or a name, and it expires each August. Schools on JANET, London Grid for Learning and SWGfL networks are recognised automatically.
Questions teachers ask us
Is it really free?
Yes. The lesson packs, revision notes, 3D models and practical pages are free to use in class and at home, with no time limit and no adverts.
Why is my account checked?
The Lesson Slides carry every answer and the homework lets you see pupils’ work, so both unlock once your school email is confirmed and your account is approved. The Class Handouts, lesson plans and 3D models work straight after you sign up.
Do pupils need devices in the lesson?
No. Pupils work on the printed Class Handout and you show the slides. Nothing to install and no phones needed in the lesson.
Do pupils need an account?
Not for the lesson. For the online homework each pupil makes a free account once and joins your class with its class code; after that, homework you set appears on their homework page.
What data is kept about pupils?
None from the lessons: they are slides and paper. For homework you see only the name a pupil gives your class, their marks and when they handed in. Homework results are deleted about a year after the due date, and the cookie banner lets every visitor choose which cookies to allow.
Which exam boards are covered?
The first lesson pack is for Edexcel International A Level. The revision notes cover Edexcel International, Edexcel (9CH0), AQA (7405), OCR (H432) and Cambridge International (9701), and lesson packs follow board by board.
Can I change and share the resources?
Yes. Every pack is an open resource under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). Use it, share it with colleagues and adapt the Lesson Slides and lesson plan, which come as editable Office files. The Class Handout comes as a print-ready PDF.
Each download already carries your school name. Please keep the credit to Online Learning System, do not sell the packs or any adapted version, and share your adaptations under the same licence.
One exception: the 3D animations, their videos and the 3D model images stay © Online Learning System, all rights reserved.
Show them in class as much as you like, but please do not extract, edit or re-share them. The interactive models are free for teachers on the website.
Who writes the resources?
Dr. Mohammed Al-Fatah: a chemistry teacher with a PGCE and QTS, a First Class chemistry degree and a Distinction MSc from UCL, and a decade of A Level teaching.
