MobyMax vs Oak National Academy

MobyMax helps teachers identify and address learning gaps for students from kindergarten through eighth grade. It offers 115 curriculum modules and assigns lessons based on diagnostic results and student progress. Assessments include Skill Checker, Placement Tests and Benchmarker tests based on state standards. Teachers can monitor progress in real time and review standards data by student, class, school or district. Interactive Class tools support live lessons using the curriculum. Automatic rostering is available through Clever and ClassLink; users can also sign in with Google Classroom credentials or import a CSV. Clever use has licensing eligibility requirements, and continued syncing requires at least 11 active students per school. MobyMax is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows; its remote-learning document says it works on a device with a browser and internet connection. The free educator version provides limited access compared with licensed features. The Family plan costs $7.99 per month for K–8 subjects. The maker says it complies with COPPA and FERPA, does not collect students’ personal home addresses, Social Security numbers or dates of birth, and uses encryption to protect personal information.

Oak National Academy provides free curriculum plans and teaching resources for schools, teachers, trusts, and pupils. Its coverage runs through key stages 1–4 across 20 subjects and aligns with the national curriculum and exam boards. Materials include lesson plans, slide decks, quizzes, worksheets, and videos of teachers teaching the content. Oak presents them as adaptable starting points for different settings and pupils. Its AI tools help teachers and education professionals create, adapt, and enhance curriculum-aligned lessons, slides, and quizzes; pupils must not use these generative tools directly. The service is available on the web and through an open curriculum API. Content published after 1 September 2022 is generally available under the Open Government Licence v3.0, subject to exceptions and third-party rights. Earlier lesson videos cannot be downloaded, recorded, or reproduced under the stated licence. Oak says it has no paywalls, package tiers, or hidden costs, and provides child-focused privacy protections and a Help Centre.
