One lesson.
Every learner.

Build your lesson once. OctoDecks delivers it to every student at the right level, automatically, silently and without extra planning.

OctoDecks is an adaptive teaching platform. The whole class is taught core content together, with extended depth available for any student ready to go further. Students own their accessibility. You see exactly what the class understands, in real time.

The classroom reality

Teaching everyone the same lesson
has never actually worked.

You already know this. Every class has students at three different levels, three different accessibility needs, and three different speeds. Traditional presentation tools weren't built for any of that.

Three worksheets. One Sunday evening.

Adaptive teaching in most classrooms means making a core version and an extended version, all made separately, maintained separately and printed separately. Every unit. Every term.

Four tabs. One lesson.

PowerPoint for the content. Kahoot for the quiz. Google Forms for exit tickets. A printed sheet for the task. Your lesson is great, but half of it is tab-switching.

You have no idea who's lost.

You're talking. They're copying. By the time you realise who didn't understand, the lesson is over and the gap has set. There's no signal until the assessment.

Adaptive teaching platform

Plan once.
Teach everyone.

OctoDecks replaces PowerPoint, your quiz tab, your exit-ticket form and your printed worksheets with a single lesson deck. Build it once. The platform handles adaptive teaching, accessibility and live feedback automatically. No separate files. No awkward grouping. No extra planning.

  • Core and extended content built into every activity. Students choose to go further.
  • Student-owned accessibility, including dyslexia mode, spacing and warm tone
  • Live classroom feedback the moment students respond
  • Student reading companion built into every slide
  • Generate a student worksheet from your deck in one click
  • Deck Library with pre-built lesson templates to start from in minutes
  • Sign in with Google to sync your decks across every device via Google Drive, or keep everything local – your choice

The defining advantage

Adaptation that's
led by students.

The whole class is taught core content together. Extended content sits alongside it, ready for any student who wants to go further. Students choose to switch themselves, building confidence on their own terms. No teacher assignment. No public grouping. No stigma. Just depth, available when a student is ready for it.

  • One lesson deck with core and extended content built in
  • Students choose to access extended content when they feel ready
  • Confidence-building by design, never by label
  • All responses return to a single teacher board, covering the whole class in one view
Student view: same slide, two levels

Student-owned accessibility

Every student.
Their own experience.

One tap switches to a dyslexia-friendly font, increases letter and word spacing, and softens the background, all on the student's own device, without asking the teacher and without anyone else noticing. Accessibility that is private, instant and entirely student-controlled.

  • Dyslexia-friendly font with a single tap. No teacher action needed.
  • Increased letter, word and line spacing for visual comfort
  • Warm cream background reduces visual stress
  • Completely private. No notification, no flag, no stigma.
  • Built for SEND and EAL learners: clear structure, independent pacing, no separate resource to prepare

Student reading mode

Students own their
learning, not a copy of your slides.

The student view does not mirror the board. It reformats every slide into a clean, scrollable article, closer to a Kindle than a slideshow. You lead the lesson at your pace. Students have the content available to refer back, catch up or review independently, without disrupting anyone else's flow.

  • Every slide reformatted as readable prose, not a shrunken stage
  • Students control their own font size, independently
  • Recap mode: release free navigation for independent review or consolidation
  • Becomes a revision resource the moment the lesson ends

Live classroom intelligence

Stop guessing.
See who's lost.

Results stream to your board the moment students respond. Word clouds surface misconceptions before you move on. MCQ bar charts show exactly which distractors pulled focus, so you can address them now, in the room, not three weeks later in a marked book.

  • Responses appear the instant students submit. No waiting.
  • Misconceptions and gaps visible across the whole class at once
  • Diagnostic data from MCQ, Word Cloud, Match-Up, Hotspot and more
  • Teach responsively. Adapt in the moment, not after the lesson.

Every diagnostic tool
you need, all built in.

40+ slide and activity types that tell you what students actually understand, not what they guess you want to hear. From warm-up to exit ticket, all inside the same lesson deck.
