- The Read-Only Version
  This is the slimmed down, read-only version of exa.foundation's online course for GCSE Computer Science (9-1). This course contains a copy of the same learning content as the original course, but no assessment and grading content. This course has been created to facilitate easier access to each of the topics meaning that no login is required to view content.
  Please note this version of the course will be available until at least the end of Summer Term 2021. It was originally designed to match OCR's J276 GCSE specification.
  The GCSE CS courses may be used in different ways, but have been designed to support a flipped-learning approach so that students can deepen their understanding of the theory for GCSE Computer Science outside of lessons, no matter which Computer Science GCSE they are following. This should allow more time in lessons for learning programming, algorithms and Computational Thinking." Alan O'Donohoe, exa.foundation
  TEACHERS: All the teacher information and guidance as well as the forums can be found on the full version of the course here which requires a login.
