Supporting teachers and students with remote learning through free video lessons

Working with Oak National Academy, we’ve turned the materials from our Teach Computing Curriculum into more than 300 free, curriculum-mapped video lessons for remote learning.

A comprehensive set of free classroom materials

One of our biggest projects for teachers that we’ve worked on over the past two years is The Computing Curriculum: a comprehensive set of free computing classroom materials for key stages 1 to 4 (learners aged 5 to 16). The materials comprise lesson plans, homework, progression mapping, and assessment materials. We’ve created these as part of the National Centre for Computing Education, but they are freely available for educators all over the world to download and use.

More than 300 free, curriculum-mapped video lessons

In the second half of 2020, in response to school closures, our team of experienced teachers produced over 100 hours of video to transform Teach Computing Curriculum materials into video lessons for learning at home. They are freely available for parents, educators, and learners to continue learning computing at home, wherever you are in the world.

Here’s the start of lesson 2 in the Year 8 ‘Computer systems’ unit

You’ll find our videos for more than 300 hour-long lessons on the Oak National Academy website. The progression of the lessons is mapped out clearly, and the videos cover England’s computing national curriculum. There are video lessons for:

  • Years 5 and 6 at key stage 2 (ages 7 to 11)
  • Years 7, 8, and 9 at key stage 3 (ages 11 to 14)
  • Examined (GCSE) as well as non-examined (Digital Literacy) at key stage 4 (ages 14 to 16)

You can access the full set of classroom materials for teaching on our website.

This curriculum is perfect for my kids. We decided this past year to start homeschooling, and we need more resources like this. My 9 year old is loving the key stage 2 lessons, and I can see his excitement for computing and programming growing every day. Thanks so much for making this all free!

Great Step for students who are financially troubled but deserve to Learn. The Covid Pandemic has been a challenge to educational institutions. Many low budget schools got shut down.
