Educator Update: December 2025

As we close out 2025, we’re pleased to share a new set of teaching resources, along with a brief preview of what’s coming next.

Do not index
As 2025 draws to a close, we wanted to start with a simple note of appreciation. Thank you for the energy, expertise, and care you continue to give your students. Teaching is demanding work and the impact you have goes well beyond academic grades, often in ways you don’t get to see right away.
It’s a privilege to partner with you, helping make your job a little easier and supporting your students to achieve their absolute best. So, once again, thank you.
We’re excited to share a number of exciting updates and look forward to continuing to support your IBDP students in 2026. Continue to scroll down for the full update, or use the contents link below to jump to any section.
Before we begin, here’s a quick teaser of what you can expect very soon.

Coming in early 2026…

These provide detailed insights into your students and classes, including student usage, topic and subtopic breakdowns, student performance, and more. They are designed to significantly increase your visibility into how your students are learning and where support is most needed.

Student Analytics and Self Assessment
For the first time ever, we’ll be providing students with data on their own understanding, including question accuracy, time spent, and performance trends across topics. Students will also be able to generate their own assessments, which, when combined with insights into their learning, are designed to foster more independent, self-directed study.

Removing Restrictions
If your school uses Revision Village through our Partnership Program, you’ll soon have access to a range of upgrades. Until now, educators have faced limits on how many tasks or assessments you can set, the number of marks each assessment can include, and how far ahead you can schedule them. We’re removing these restrictions entirely, alongside a suite of improvements to make creating, assigning, and managing student work on Revision Village faster and more flexible.
