Sir Kevan Collins, Executive Vice Chairman
We are pleased to be celebrating technology-enhanced learning and teaching as part of the LbQ team. We both have the same goal for the future of education: to improve the lives of all the children in this country. It may seem ambitious, but we believe it to be possible.
There are three main elements to a teacher’s day: planning, teaching and assessment. Technology can be used to alleviate the struggles of workload, but there is a lot of edtech that appears to take over from the teacher. That is not what we see for the future of UK classrooms. Good edtech we have seen, supplements, supports and complements teachers.
The best edtech goes even further. Research shows that children make the most progress when they receive quality feedback at the point of learning; the quicker the feedback, the more powerful it is. Technology that can provide instant feedback of this sort, whilst simultaneously helping teachers be the teachers they always wanted to be, is worth celebrating.

Answering questions and solving problems is an effective way to learn. Our experienced teacher authors have been in your shoes; they know what resources would be useful and spend time creating new ideas to reinvigorate old topics, captivating children's minds question by question.
Crafting the perfectly scaffolded question set to cover a curriculum objective takes time, typically 5 months, from concept to completion, including research, writing, illustrating and testing in the classroom.
Within minutes, you can adapt, create, or pick from the Question Sets so that they work perfectly for you.
Once you begin a session, a Progress Bar indicates to the pupils how well they're doing and, if they're not being challenged enough, the system automatically moves them up a level so that they are always learning. Your pupils will be thrilled by the advances they're making.

Teachers say that seeing our live performance analysis is the ah ha moment they've been waiting for.
Updated in real time, you see exactly how the class and every pupil within it, is performing. Knowing precisely who, what and where your expertise should be directed as your class unfolds, gives your teaching maximum impact.
Unburden yourself from unnecessary marking. Results are held in the cloud and are printable too, so you can access them, review them and plan ahead whenever it's convenient.
Save that valuable time for teaching!

of my pupils had met or surpassed their end of year objectives."

Our principle aim is to increase learning.
We believe that only teachers have the power to do this. LbQ is designed to empower and amplify you the teacher, to effectively sit a version of you on the shoulder of every pupil. And to have eyes everywhere, and to give you the time and facility to remember why you became a teacher in the first place.
100% engaged,
100% of the time."
Debbie Mercer, Wensleyfold Primary Academy
Technology is responsive, encourages self-improvement and means that everyone can be included in your class regardless of what topic, pace, or ability level they're at.
The power of privately having 'another go' transforms a young person's confidence and their attitude to school. But whilst the medium was never in doubt, experience has taught us that long-term engagement is not enough to increase learning significantly.
Immediate feedback for every individual, for every answer given is the crucial element, and it is unique to LbQ.
