Revel and Swansea University
Revel was shown to improve exam scores when compared to students who did not use it. Revel impacted positively on student engagement with reading and lectures, increasing student confidence with their knowledge acquisition, demonstrated by their participation in lectures.
The School of Management at Swansea University is one of the UK’s leading providers of management, finance and economic research and education, awarded Gold teaching status in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) 2018.
Senior Lecturer and Programme Director for Management, Ms. Sarah Owens and Senior Lecturer Dr. Samantha Burvill piloted Revel in 2017-8 on both the Marketing and the Strategy modules of their Masters-level Management course, the largest MSc programme in the University.
Students appreciated the ease of use and structure of Revel, with one student noting that “the content was good - it was easy to understand and it linked to the lectures...which was very useful in the exam”.
Another student felt that “reading something that was so easy to understand - so easy to read - definitely developed confidence by the end of the semester”
