How can teachers use free, online tools, to reduce workload and improve pupils retention?

In our 78th podcast with Dr Flavia Belham, a former science teacher from Brazil and chief scientist at Seneca Learning in London, we learn more about Seneca Learning; an online platform used by 2.5 million people in the U.K.

In this podcast, listen to Flavia discuss her educational background and how she ended up working with monkeys, her life as a teacher, working in a state school in Brasilia, Brazil and running a night-class for over 40’s! We hear more about her fascinating PhD research: How well people of differing ages remember positive and negative information and how emotion and memory interact in young and older adults.

We then discuss what a typical week looks like for her working at Seneca Learning; homework and revision tools and the types of insights Seneca has discovered about its millions of users! We discover the tools that help teachers mark homework more effectively to save teacher workload and the projects that Seneca is working on, outside of the U.K.
