New video for learners- Studying for SQA Qualifications Using SCHOLAR

This new resource, “Studying for SQA Qualifications Using SCHOLAR”, has been created to show learners how to use SCHOLAR in their studies as they work towards a National 5, Higher or Advanced Higher qualification. The video is suitable for learners with no prior experience of SCHOLAR, but may also be of benefit to students with summative assessments or exams approaching who may wish to use the interactive course materials and automatically marked, end of topic and end of unit assessments for consolidation and revision. Our new video is available at http://bit.ly/StudyWithSCHOLAR Best wishes, SCHOLAR Team
