- If you already have a handout or other document you like (Word or PDF format), you can upload it as further guidance.
- Select the cartridge you would like the generator to use when creating the result. Each cartridge typically covers a particular unit or topic of study from the book; you can select up to three cartridges at one time.
- Alternatively, paste the web address (URL) of a useful and trustworthy website. Please note that a minority of websites may not allow their content to be used or may be in an incompatible format.
- Make the results appropriate for your class or group by choosing the learner age.
- Select the number of activity ideas you’d like – we suggest allowing a few extras so that any that don’t meet your needs can be discarded.
- In ‘More about the learners’, if relevant, select one or more specific Learning Needs. If you select Specific Learning Difficulties, you will be able to expand on these in more detail.
- Click Generate and wait a few moments.
If you like the result, you can Save Result (so you can come back to it later) and Export it.
If the result is not satisfactory you can amend the entered information and Regenerate, creating a new result. If the result was somewhat satisfactory and only small changes are needed, you can Refine the result in the text box.
