Reviews & Awards

“The primary strength of Great Empires of the Past is its consistent use of images of genuine art, artefacts, and monuments to illustrate each empire. The editing and visual style is fresh and lively, but does not obscure the iconic images …. Provides concise yet insightful introductions to key concepts as well as geographical and historical contexts…. Teachers will find the 2- to 3-minute segments useful as writing prompts, discussion prompts, or simply a way to add variety to classroom instruction and reach auditory and visual learners. Each segment could easily be used independently of all the others. Recommended.” — Educational Media Reviews Online

Provide fun, accessible revision material tailored to individual needs
Allow students to take control by providing a structured revision plan
Give instant feedback so students can continually improve
Monitor progress and provide additional support if needed.

eRevision by ZigZag Education offers all of these key elements.

eRevision caters for students of all abilities through engaging exercises to learn what they don’t know and prepare for the exam. Every specification sub-topic is covered by 4 types of exercise.

Students choose their target grade and the program adjusts the difficulty of the questions appropriately, ensuring no student is left behind. Intuitive progress tracking allows students to see a map of progress to help structure their revision.

Furthermore, students can monitor their own progress and revise from anywhere using school, library or a home computer with Internet access. Teachers can monitor student and class marks too, so you can oversee their progress whilst allowing them to work independently.
