Its a mock exam - but with a difference

SPB Helper, by AltCampus, is completely different from any other e-learning resource that is currently on the market to support DiDA.  Unlike other e-learning providers we do not solely teach the course content; rather we prepare students for assessment. SPB Helper is the perfect preparation for the DiDA course assessment which is the Summative Project Brief.  Here is a summary of SPB Helper’s key features:

  • SPB Helper is updated each year with new practical tasks.
  • SPB Helper raises achievement.  SPB Helper gives your students the opportunity to have a “dry run” at an SPB.  This will give a significant boost to their chances of success when they have to complete their assessment under “controlled conditions”.
  • SPB Helper provides a FREE E-portfolio service, using the award winning Yacapaca assessment system.
  • SPB Helper is comprehensive. For each DiDA unit, at level 2, there is a corresponding SPB Helper.
  • SPB Helper is media rich.  SPB Helper uses innovative technology to give your students video, animation and audio content over the web. It is also simple; only a web browser is needed to run the materials.
  • SPB Helper gives comprehensive syllabus coverage, especially section 3 and 1.
  • SPB Helper has e-learning credit status.
