SBS Learn vs Teachit

SBS Learn provides free, Australian Curriculum-aligned teaching resources for educators, covering Foundation through Year 12. Its downloadable lesson plans, activities and classroom materials are made for primary and secondary students, with a focus on multicultural and First Nations educational content. Resources cover all learning areas and connect to Cross Curriculum Priorities, General Capabilities and Curriculum Connections. Teachers can browse by subject and year, including English, mathematics, science, humanities and social sciences, and the arts.

Teachers can download, save and share resources with colleagues and students. Curated short SBS and NITV clips come with guided questions, activities and curriculum links to support classroom discussion and critical thinking. The Alone Australia resource includes collaborative activities, discussion questions, research tasks, differentiated scaffolds and outdoor learning activities. Some materials may become unavailable when the related SBS or NITV content is out of licence. For full-episode classroom viewing, SBS Learn points teachers to ClickView or their school’s resource centre. Teachers can also subscribe for resource updates by email or contact SBS Learn through its form. It is SBS’s schools-based education arm and has developed teacher resources since 2015.

Teachit Studio helps primary and secondary teachers create classroom resources from a topic and year group, or transform PDFs, recordings, and YouTube lessons into teaching materials and study notes. It generates worksheets, quizzes, lesson plans, flashcards, exit tickets, task cards, vocabulary sets, and differentiated worksheets, among other formats. The service covers 16 year groups and 16 subjects. Studio accepts PDFs up to 50 MB, audio recordings up to 90 minutes, and YouTube videos up to 45 minutes, or 30 minutes without captions. Resources are branded, print-ready PDFs; mark schemes come with pupil and teacher copies. Word export is in beta. Teachers can assign live quizzes by QR code, link, or short code, and pupils can join without accounts. Uploaded content is sent to AI providers for generation, but Teachit says it is not used to train AI models. Generated content may contain errors, so teachers should review it before class use.
