User Success Stories
City College Plymouth
Byon Love, Digital Teaching, Learning, and Innovation Lead at City College Plymouth, shared their journey with TeacherMatic, highlighting significant improvements in teaching efficiency and staff engagement:
Key impacts:
Supported 125 staff across all curriculum areas, now expanded to around 180 staff actively using TeacherMatic.
82% of staff said TeacherMatic saved them between 1–4 hours per week, 10% reported savings of 5–9 hours, and 8% saved over 10 hours weekly.
Newer staff, in particular, found TeacherMatic to be a “lifeline,” helping them quickly generate teaching materials and easing the pressure of mid-year starts
Regular staff surveys guide internal support and weekly workshops, focusing on best practice sharing and effective use of TeacherMatic.
Byon specifically mentioned:
“We encourage the sharing of best practice amongst members of staff. We started to champion those best use cases, such as the feedback generator and smart targets generator. It enabled staff to spend more time with students rather than filling out data sheets.”
University of Chester
Laura, Head of Digital Education at the University of Chester, described how TeacherMatic played a pivotal role during a large-scale curriculum redesign, significantly streamlining processes and enhancing collaborative efforts:
Key successes:
Facilitated efficient creation of rubrics, significantly reducing stress and time.
Supported large-scale curriculum changes by providing educators with a critical partner in refining learning outcomes and assessments.
Ensured a user-friendly experience, integrating smoothly with existing tools like Turnitin.
Laura highlighted:
“TeacherMatic played a really important role in our curriculum design. Colleagues could use it essentially as a critique partner and a critical friend to rewrite and refresh learning outcomes, adding extra joy to curriculum redesign processes.”
