Set meaningful homework that’s marked and analysed for you

We know that history teachers are under more pressure than ever to set meaningful work that students can complete independently. We’ve worked with history teachers to produce high-quality questions that increase students’ understanding of history and second-order historical concepts, but can still be automatically marked and analysed.

What's included
See students’ progress and knowledge gaps

Clear quiz results pages, and our analyse results tool, lets you gain insight into your students’ strengths and weaknesses.

Automatic marking

Students’ answers are marked instantly with on-screen feedback, saving hours.

Easy and effective independent learning

Intelligent algorithm sets personalised quizzes for every student.

Develop proficiency in key historical knowledge

Choose from hundreds of questions that develop knowledge and understanding

Students need regular retrieval practice so that they’ll be ready with the content they need to know, and the second-order concepts they need to apply it.

Educake has hundreds of questions written to develop these skills in students, and because it only takes seconds to set homework and it’s marked for you, students can work independently on these without increasing your workload.

Educake helps students think like a historian

We tailor our content to the latest exam guidance, and provide plenty of primary sources for students to try ahead of sitting their exams.

Our source questions help to provide teachers with more classroom time to spend on content, whilst still giving students plenty of exam practice.
