How to: Set homework on Eedi
Craig's experience
"How many times have you set your students a homework to do, only to be faced the next day with a student telling you they couldn’t do it because they got stuck? Without you sitting there beside them, homework can be a frustrating experience for the studious, or an easy opportunity to opt out for the lazy!"
How Eedi helps
Each homework you set on Eedi comes complete with free support and challenge. If a student struggles on a diagnostic question, they are first offered a hint based on the specific answer they gave. If they are still struggling they can begin a lesson. Lessons take place via our engaging chat interface.
Lessons comprise of:
- A worked example delivered by our team of expert experienced teachers
- A follow-up problem to solve
- Fluency questions to develop confidence and competence
- Intelligent practice questions to enable students to attend to key relationships
Each question comes complete with a full video solution, allowing students to not only check their work, but see exactly where they went wrong.
And if students fly through the homework with no problems? Well, then we have some lovely stretch and challenge questions for them to get them thinking hard.
Students gain rewards to help motivate them through lessons, and you gain a unique insight into your students understanding through our analytics.
