What is Absorb?

Our Absorb courseware titles are interactive courses based around our unique simulations, interactive animations and videos, linked by an involving narrative.

Each title offers a huge amount of interactivity - ranging from simple animations that show hidden concepts, to powerful models that allow flexible experimentation.

Using Absorb in your VLE

This new version of Absorb can either be used online, or downloaded as a SCORM package. This means the new Absorb courseware can be used with all standard VLEs.

Local Authorities: join our free VLE pilot

Local Education Authorities who are implementing a VLE over a number of schools can join our pilot feedback project. By doing this, you can get access to 50 free units from Absorb.

We have a limit on the number of authorities involved, so please get in touch soon if you're interested.

Exam Correlations

New curriculum correlations make it much easier to find the content you need.

Each Absorb unit has been correlated against key UK exam board specifications from AQA, OCR and Edexcel.
