In the classroom with access to limited devices

There are various ways you can use CENTURY with your whole class only has access to limited devices, and some usage models you may like are:

Supported or extension work

• If  learners complete their work in class, they can use CENTURY as an extension. You can let the learners know which nuggets to work on from their My Courses tab, or learners can work through their Pathway. Learners can also view their own Learner Dashboard and review their Strengths and Areas for Improvement. They can then pick a nugget linked to their Areas for Improvement and work through this nugget from their My Courses tab.

Discuss Questions as a Class

• You can use the learning material from nuggets as part of your teaching. Find the nugget in your My Courses tab and display the video or slideshow on the board and work through the content with your class. You can then work through the questions as a group or ask individual learners to answer the questions. You can also set the nugget to be completed as homework if you do not have time to go through the questions in the classroom.

Align with weekly lesson plans

• You can use the questions from a nugget as a starter or plenary for your class and use the answers to inform your teaching and the common misconceptions you may need to address. 

Carousel Learning

• When setting a class activity, a small group of learners can complete the activity on CENTURY and you rotate the learners who use CENTURY each week to complete the task. You will just need to let the learners know the nugget to search for in their My Courses tab or set it in the Planner.

Supported Learning

• If you have a TA in your class, they can work with a small group on specific nuggets: using the videos as a teaching aid, working through the questions together or allowing learners to work independently until they need assistance..

Extension work

• If you have any learners who have very quickly mastered a topic in class, you can set them extension nuggets to work through. Let the learners know which nuggets to work through and they can search for them in their My Courses tab. The same can be done with a group of learners with a particular learning gap.
