Success Story: Pre-chewed Politics Growing Business With Online Video Lessons

Pre-chewed Politics brings A-Level Government and Politics alive! The team pioneered the flipped classroom model in the UK. With this model, students can learn flexibly and at their own speed at home, while teachers can make the most of class time by encouraging debate and deepening understanding.

Pre-chewed Politics: From Concept to Success Story

The Pre-chewed service enables users to “flip” the classroom. In essence, the listening happens at home and the challenging debates and student questions and concerns take place at school, where educators are present and available to help. The company believes that this “flipped classroom” approach represents the future of education.

According to Managing Director Laura Downey York, “Our videos form a modern-day textbook – online, always accessible, and flexible. Students can pause and rewind to learn at their own pace, wherever they are, 24 hours a day. The company is flourishing and continues to grow year on year. As you can see from our testimonials, we’re really making a difference to the study of A-Level Politics in the UK.”

Among other offerings, their team provides: online learning, through vTextbook (video textbook) lessons and accompanying worksheets; up to date political knowledge, through tailored weekly case studies; revision support, through detailed yearly revision packs; and classroom support, through outstanding classroom activities and materials.

Central to the success of this learning model is a professional online video platform–Dacast.
