Tassomai covers computer science and other subjects

“Computer science is very theory based and a lot of the exam questions are between 1-4 marks, which means that the content really lends itself to short answer questions, like Tassomai’s format.”

- Donna Robertson, IT & CS lead, Harrow Way Community School

Teachers have detailed oversight on their students’ activity and the ability to set homework and manage settings and topics through their Teacher Dashboards.

The Understanding Grid, a self-populating Personal Learning Checklist, uses the same data set as The Tree. At a glance, teachers can spot knowledge gaps at an individual or whole class level, saving valuable teaching time and enabling them to rapidly target interventions.

Feedback from computer science teachers

We are grateful to the educators who helped us with the development of the computer science course, providing input into content and course structure, here are some of their comments:

"A great way to tailor the learning and retrieval for students as it is designed to adapt to the students needs and also push them onto that next level."

"A computer science app where actual teachers have had an input! Shaping the questions, keeping it up to date and making sure it is fit for purpose."

"Such an easy tool to navigate for students and teachers. With instant feedback and a tree of growth to show progression."

"Great tool for homework and recall, leaving more time in the classroom for content delivery."

"Gives students a sense of ownership as the more they do the better the reward"
