KnowItAll Ninja Reviews 25

Overall I find the resources very useful for student when recapping on topics or for revision purposes as well as for assigning work to students when a work colleague is off sick etc. Students seem to find the resources very useful and easy to use, In sections the quizzes could possible be a bit more interactive for students. Also a useful feature would be to include some past paper resources and sample solutions.

This is such a great resource for both teachers and students. Very easy to use and makes boring topics more enjoyable for the students. The quizzes student can take are fab and bring on a form of competition with them. Love this!

I have worked at three different schools, being HoD at two of them. At each school we have subscribed to KnowItAllNinja as an essential resource for our KS4 students. It is a great homework tool, as well as a revision resource for the students. They enjoy the competitiveness of the XP gains and find the videos and quizzes useful. Support from Daniel has always been prompt and any issues have quickly been resolved. There is a slight issue with the tracking of OCR CS courses as the headings don't relate to the current J277 content, but this should be fixed in a future update. Exporting data and being able to view all data at once would also be beneficial to monitor students' progress.

Knowitall Ninja is great, as I've used it throughout High School and now in college. It's great that the pass mark is high, so that it challenges me to make sure I know quite a bit. I emailed a while back requesting a quiz mode feature where you could just quiz for XP/learning, and filter each unit. That would be great, but overall this is amazing.

the dashboard is a bit confusing to start of
and you should add a bitt to go straight to quiz

Great tool for learning as it is currently helping me learn about different parts of the CPU and it is really helpful with teaching and explaining things in general. I also really like that it teaches you some extra things that aren't required for the GCSE, it is interesting and also shows how a lot of thought was put into this and it wasn't just made for money but made with actualy care and thought.

Only reason it didn't get a 5 is perhaps you could gamefy some aspects of it and allow to compete with other people on your class - also the UI is just a tiny bit confusing.

But yeah, really great overall!

Have been using KIAN since 2023 and have found that the provided resources and quizzes really suit our GCSE learners.
Being able to track their progress, time spent and scores on the teacher Dashboard is great, as is the Student Leader board which promotes friendly competition between learners.

I keep pressing an answer and it puts the wrong one. zero stars for this dead site

good for learning. i bought this because it is the most exciting and engaging way to learn my computer science for GCSES but i feel like im making no progress. The end quizzes and so annoyingly weird. i mess up on a question that i have no idea what the answer is and i have to do the ENTIRE test again. i get that this is used for school homework but can you please make it a bit easier for people who bought it for themselves. i have gone through everything but i skip the tests because of how frustrated that make me and then when i tell my parents i have revised all of it they don't believe me because it says 0% so i have to show them my notes

We have been using this resource for several years and we have renewed our subscription each year because our students find it very useful as both an individual learning and revision tool.

Helpful and responded promptly to email. Thank you for your support

I find it decent. The only problem is the grammatical errors I come across when reading passages. It puts me off.

A great source of knowledge for IT students and IT Teachers new to the profession.

I have been using KIAN for around 3 years within my previous schools and their resources provide a really good basis for students to gain the foundations and stride within higher aspects. A particular note has been the Level 3 IT Unit 2 - Creating systems for Managing Data, which student have found incredibly useful to achieving essential knowledge for their exam.

I still currently use KIAN for all of my classes and wish the best of luck to the team.

I use this in my class for revision. But you have to get 80% correct, which i think is completely impractical, half of the questions are completely unrelated to the subject.

My son enjoyed it and learnt from it but it isn't really enough to pass the exam. It would be great if you could add a bank of exam style questions rather than just MCQs which only make up a fraction of the marks in the exam. In addition, the videos are a bit fast so many students find it hard to keep up

The go to resource for BTEC IT Level 3, Unit 1

Great for the students. They absolutely love using it. Been a good way to consolidate lessons

There are 2 aspects to KnowItAll Ninja. Firstly the website is great. The students enjoy the mixture of notes with interactive puzzles and then the quiz at the end to test their overall understanding. There is also a short presentation and video for each part to support those students who might find the text content a little daunting.
The management of the classes and courses has changed a number of times since I began using it and on the whole is simple to use. It would be an improvement if on the tracking window you could see more and view that full screen. I export to Excel and look at it that way.
The second area is the support. I have contact them a number of times over the years and have always got a quick and helpful response. Sometime this was about the change in the purchasing, other times it was due to an error I had found or a query I had about the content on the site.
Highly recommended.

Fab system, students love it!
