Information about Studybetter™

What is Studybetter™?

Teachers and students now have access to the best of both worlds – a comprehensive self-marking and interactive eLearning resource and a write-on workbook – a combined resource that enhances self-directed learning and revision for students.

Studybetter™ is an Australian and Australasian product developed by a team of established writers and practising Australian and Australasian teachers with decades of experience in the classroom. We are constantly responding to teacher suggestions, refining the content and adding to the product range. We offer the most comprehensive eLearning resource in Australasia by providing relevant, detailed and engaging online learning materials for a range of subjects.

As a program designed by Australian and Australasian teachers for both teachers and students, Studybetter™ provides interactive eLearning and workbook resources that empower students to become self-directed learners, and raise achievement levels whilst saving time for both teachers and students.

Self-directed learning

Schools and departments are always actively equipping students to become more effective self-directed learners. If you are looking for resources that can assist you, then Studybetter™ is a useful in-class, homework and end of year revision resource that can provide a structured learning approach for your students. Combining interactive web-based learning and write-on booklets, these resources provide an integrated approach that enables students to take charge of their own learning and save you time.

Students still need direction from staff and a level of accountability, so our evolving administration suite allows you to track and monitor progress and report back directly to parents.

Reflective learning

Studybetter™ is not just 'skill and drill' like so many other online programmes. The way we have structured our material and the programme itself, provides students with the opportunity to reflect on their answers and the strategies they used to arrive at those answers. Research shows that this process, in conjunction with the instant answers and explanations, accelerates learning.

Our questions are also aligned to the curriculum and to both SOLO and Bloom's Taxonomy of critical thinking levels so students are challenged not just to recall and understand one or many ideas, but to apply, analyse and evaluate by using relational and extended thinking skills.
