Teachers and departments

Three A-level libraries live at this address: physics, maths and biology. All of it is free to use with a class. This page is the department’s way in: what you can put in front of students today, which specification each library has been read against, and what prints.

Using it with a class

Teachers may use the free notes, diagrams, questions, specification maps and printable materials with a class. Students do not need an account. Ink Learning does not provide class dashboards, registers, schemes of work or laboratory risk assessments.

The pages open in whatever browser the network gives you, and a page keeps working offline once a device has opened it. An account exists and is optional; all it does is carry a student’s own revision between their own devices, and the privacy notice says what it holds.

Print and project the pages freely for your own classes, and point students at the site. What is not allowed is re-publishing the material, distributing edited copies or selling it: all rights are reserved by Ink Learning Ltd. On a shared drive or a virtual learning environment that means a link rather than a copy, which is also the version that keeps working: a correction made here reaches everybody reading the page, while a file saved to a school system in September goes on saying whatever it said in September.

The diagrams are the exception, and a deliberate one. Every drawing on the three libraries is published as a file of its own, and those files are licensed CC BY-NC 4.0: copy them, crop them, annotate them and adapt them, in a handout, on a slide, on the VLE, in a fee-charging school and in a paid tutorial, as long as you credit us. Using our diagrams sets out the terms in full, what they do not reach, and how to write the credit.

Whether it matches what you teach

Each library is written to its subject rather than to a board, and then read back against the specifications one row at a time. That reading is published rather than summarised. A route map is the board’s own contents in the board’s own order, with the lesson that teaches each row beside it and every row nothing here covers marked in place, where it falls. A map that could only say yes would not be worth reading.

There are 12 of them. The boards do not publish at the same grain, some in outline headings, some in numbered statements, some in learning outcomes, so each map says which of those it is counting before it counts anything, and the numbers on one are not comparable with the numbers on another.

What has not been read is named too. Each library’s exam-board page (physics boards, maths boards, biology boards) lists every route that library is written for and says which have been checked against it and which have not. Where a route has no map, nothing here is claimed to cover its specification, however closely the two read. The overlap is usually large, because A-level physics is A-level physics; the claim is still not made on the strength of that.

What you can print

The workbooks are original questions with room to work, published in a navy screen edition and a plain white print edition, with the answers in a separate book so a class cannot read them by accident. None of the questions is a past-paper question; they are written for these pages. The answer books are ordinary public downloads like everything else here, which is worth knowing before you set one as homework.

Physics and maths list every workbook on one page, unit by unit: the physics workbooks and the maths workbooks. The biology books sit at the foot of the lesson each one belongs to, and the biology practise page is the way in to them.

The printable card packs are the cards the flashcard tool schedules, laid out as sheets to cut out in the same two editions, with a free Anki deck of the same cards beside each one: physics packs, maths packs and biology packs.

The revision posters are one printable page per topic, each with the topic’s diagrams, its equations and the few points worth remembering, sized for A3 and legible on a wall: the physics posters. They are pictures rather than documents, so unlike the workbooks they are not licensed for re-publishing; print them, pin them and link to them.

Which of these downloads are tagged for a screen reader, and which are not tagged yet, is set out on the accessibility statement rather than promised here.

What is not here

No schemes of work, no lesson plans and no slide decks. What is published is the explanation, the questions and the maps; the sequencing is yours. No class registers, no dashboard, and no way for anybody, ourselves included, to see what a particular student has done: revision is held in that student’s own browser, or in their own optional account, and nothing reports on it to a teacher. No past-paper questions, and no specification text reproduced. And no online guide replaces supervised practical work: the practical pages describe method and analysis for revision, and your own risk assessments and instructions govern the laboratory.

Telling us something is wrong

Teachers find the errors students read past. If a sentence here is wrong, or true and still misleading, or out of step with what a mark scheme will accept, the corrections page says how to send it and what happens to it, and carries the log of what has been corrected so far. Naming the board and the paper makes it much faster to check.
