Road map

What’s next for Smart Revise?

Smart Revise is an evolving product that is continually improved and adpated based on user feedback. Developed using an agile approach we anticipate a new feature going live approximately every four to six weeks.

What we are working on now

Last updated: 17/05/2022

  1. Business Studies content and necessary UI changes. Lots to do here under the hood to ensure the experience is tailored to the subject assessment practices.
  2. A shopping basket experience for purchasing course vouchers. Reducing the likelihood of accidently purchasing the wrong exam series.
  3. Model answer video for every Advance question.

Coming next

The order of implementation below is subject to change.

  1. Student self-marking of tasks.
  2. Peer marking of tasks.

Looking further ahead

No firm commitments about how or when these features could be implemented, but this gives you a sense of our general direction in the longer term. These proposals are not presented in order of priority, it is a general list.

  1. Analytic reports for tasks filtered by tag.
  2. Changing the colours of data indicators in analytic reports. Blue for zero looks a bit odd. Probably better if it is red.
  3. Topic filtering for teachers at an individual student level.
  4. Set the same task for classes in different year groups.
  5. Timed tasks. Simulate real exams with a timer that starts when the task is opened and submits the task when the time allocation expires. With an extra time facility for individual students.
  6. Data from tasks counts towards Quiz, Terms, Advance and Awards or a feature to set goals for students.
  7. Mastery mode to focus on just those Quiz questions that need to be mastered.
  8. Shuffle and search buttons for Terms.
  9. Teacher access to the student revision report.
  10. Feedback comment bank for Tasks.
  11. Search for a question in Advance and Tasks.
  12. Student sorting options when marking tasks to put students with unmarked tasks to the top.
  13. Notifications when events happen with configurable email alerts. E.g. when a task is submitted for marking.
  14. Choose questions for a task based on difficulty and command words.
  15. More informative data counters when selecting Quiz.
  16. Sign in from various SSO providers.
  17. Prioritising questions that have not been set before when creating a task.
  18. Downloadable content packs to enable more unseen questions.
