Edpuzzle
Edpuzzle has changed how we use video in lessons, allowing staff to add questions, notes, and pauses to check understanding. It works with YouTube, teacher-made videos, and screen recordings, while offering clear insights into student progress. Easy to use and self-paced, it’s a great way to keep learners engaged.
The organisation used Edpuzzle to create 509 interactive videos for their students, who spent over 1,401 hours engaging with the content and answering a total of 68,127 questions.

From presentations and infographics to posters and video, Canva makes it simple to design visually impactful resources for teaching, learning, and business use.
This year, 378 members of staff and 1,735 students have created an impressive 16,647 designs, highlighting Canva’s growing role in supporting creativity and the diversification of assessment across the College Group.
