Is the next phase of development for our Learner Response enabled resources

The 'Student Paced' resources work with Promethean Activexpression and are linked to the core Learning Clip Interactive activities.

An e-worksheet is displayed on the IWB and students use their Activexpressions to answer questions. Every student can go at their own pace and of course their answers are marked and recorded instantaneously - creating a perfect tool to assist with formative assessment.

Users with an 'LR enabled' account can access the Beta Student Paced resources free of charge while they are in development.
