In their own words
ISLCollective
iSLCollective is a web community where language teachers share teaching materials they create, including editable Word DOC/DOCX and PowerPoint PPT/PPTX files. Its platforms cover English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian, with materials spanning grammar, general topics, business English and vocabulary. The intended users include teachers in schools and tutors giving one-to-one lessons. Teachers can use interactive worksheet quizzes or begin with an AI-generated quiz version that they review and correct before publishing. Video quizzes combine YouTube videos with popup questions, automatic corrections and scoring. Users can register or log in with Facebook or Google. Free membership costs nothing and allows up to one worksheet download daily or five monthly. Plus costs £5 a month and increases download and print limits, adds more video quiz class links and ad-free links for students. Pro costs £10 a month and provides unlimited resource access in an ad-free environment for teachers and students.
Scootle
Scootle is a free digital learning repository for Australian educators, available through the web and an iOS app. It provides resources aligned with Australian Curriculum content descriptions and elaborations from Foundation to Year 10. Subjects include English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, The Arts, Technologies, Health and Physical Education, Work Studies, and Languages. Materials range from interactive multimedia, images, audio and video to courses, text, assessments, downloadable resources, work samples, curriculum collections, teacher ideas and units of work. Teachers can find quality-assured resources with student activities and teacher support, then assemble personalised learning paths for individuals, groups or learning purposes. Students open a path with a unique PIN without logging in. Teachers can export paths as spreadsheets or PDFs, share them with colleagues, or place them in a searchable bank for others to adapt. Registration uses eligible education or university credentials, while guests can continue without them. Scootle was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in Melbourne.
