What is Showbie?
Showbie is a digital learning platform designed for education, helping teachers and learners stay connected, organised, and supported – both in and out of the classroom. It brings together the best of traditional teaching and digital tools, enabling teachers to share work, assess learning and gain real-time insights into student progress, provide high-quality feedback, and truly personalise learning experiences.

Aligned with the core aims of the Transforming Learning programme, Showbie helps Fife deliver teaching and learning that is:
- Connected: Showbie provides a shared space for communication and collaboration between teachers, learners, families, and administrators. Showbie allows pupils to access learning materials and feedback anytime, anywhere – helping learning continue beyond the classroom – and helps teachers know their students more deeply to better meet them where they’re at every day.
- Consistent: Showbie supports equitable access to high-quality, research-informed teaching and learning across all schools. It helps ensure that every learner benefits from consistent expectations, effective feedback, and support – no matter their setting or subject.
- Confident: Showbie builds digital skills in both learners and educators. Its intuitive tools promote independence and confidence in using technology – preparing young people for success in a digitally-driven world.
- Creative: Learners can make the most of iPad by using Showbie to express themselves in both analog and digital formats such as photo, video and voice – encouraging creativity and learner choice. Teachers can differentiate content, provide rich and engaging feedback, and adapt learning to individual needs.
In addition, Showbie:
- Drives school improvement: Enabling research-based, impactful teaching practices, to be embedded and scaled across classrooms to improve teaching and learning.
- Strengthens instruction, assessment and feedback: Teachers can share content and explanations that can be reviewed at any time by learners – extending teaching time. It also enables educators to assess learning continuously and gain real-time insights into student progress, enabling more timely, meaningful feedback that supports growth.
- Empowers parental and family engagement: Families gain greater insight into their child’s learning journey, encouraging more meaningful conversations and improved support at home.
- Supports leadership visibility and professional learning: School leaders and educators can observe, reflect on, and improve practice using real-time insights – helping inform coaching, quality assurance, CPD, and improvement planning.
