Student Access

On this page, we explain the value, utility and setup of student access to the ESS InThinking site.
As part of your subscription to the InThinking ESS site, you can allow as many students access to the site as you have. There is no “charge per student”, and the site has been designed with “Teacher-only” areas, so you know the assessments are secure, and you can find lots of advice focused on your needs. The “Student-access” pages are directed at the students, but you will find lots of information that may be useful to you too. The “Student-access” pages include an E-book, activities, practicals, IA advice, self-test quizzes, revision advice and more.
I started writing this site with my students in mind. All my classes have used the site. We log on every lesson, and they will follow my instructions and use the site independently. Outside of class, they use it for revision and preparing for lessons. Students with learning differences really like it, as they know they can read the slides and activities before arriving in class, giving them some additional processing time.
If you are a teacher who likes to control access to information by your students, you can use the student manager to choose which pages are available to your students. I would encourage you to allow them access to the revision section so that they can access the quizzes.
