FEATURES OF SHAKESPEARE ONLINE

Interactive Playscript The Interactive Playscript offers reading and comprehension support for the play’s language, literary devices, and characters along with an audio reading of the script.
Multimedia Content The Multimedia tab provides an unprecedented collection of the highest quality full‐length feature films, stage productions, audio dramatizations, production stills, and art images.
Graphic Novel A “quick” text graphic novel edition offers stunning illustrations and abridged text for a highly visual and faster‐paced read.
Self‐Check Questions The Self‐Check section allows students to build customized quizzes around acts and scenes in the play and receive instant feedback on their performance.

ABOUT THIS REPORT Since the launch of the sites in October 2010, many hundreds of teachers and
thousands of students have experienced Shakespeare Online in their classrooms
and homes. This report summarizes user information collected by Oxford
University Press Canada from September 2010 to June 2011. The three data
sources for this report are: a June 2011 Teacher User Survey; a June 2011
Student User Survey; and website analytics collected between September 2010
and June 2011.
TEACHER USER SURVEY
In June 2011, Oxford University Press Canada invited all registered purchasing
teachers using at least one of the three Shakespeare Online plays to complete an
online survey. In total, 45 teachers from 41 high schools in 6 provinces (BC, AB,
SK, MB, ON, NB) responded. The 19‐question survey asked about the extent and
type of use, most useful features and functionality, overall effectiveness for
teaching and learning, overall satisfaction levels, and technical performance.
STUDENT USER SURVEY
In June 2011, Oxford also invited all paid and registered students to complete an
online survey. In total, 151 students from 43 high schools in 6 provinces (BC, AB,
SK, MB, ON, NB) responded. The 20‐question survey asked about the extent and
type of use, the most liked features and functionality, overall student satisfaction
levels, and technical performance.
OXFORD NEXT WEBSITE ANALYTICS
The analytics report provided aggregated usage data for the Oxford Next
platform and three Shakespeare Online websites from September 2010 to June
2011. These metrics illustrated frequency of use, time of use (monthly, weekly,
and daily), and the most popular or frequently used content elements.
DATA NOTES
Teacher and student survey responses were consistent across the three plays.
The same is true of the website traffic data, where usage across sites shows little
variation. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, all survey responses and website
analytics in this report represent aggregated data from the three websites.

APPENDIX A FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF SHAKESPEARE ONLINE The following table provides a detailed overview of the features of Shakespeare
Online and its benefits based on feedback from students and educators.
Features Description Benefits according to users
Online Delivery
Shakespeare Online is browser‐based and therefore available anywhere, any time, from any computer.
Each site contains an extensive range of interactive print and multimedia resources located and delivered in ONE secure, well‐ organized, and easily accessible website.
Students can use Shakespeare Online from home or school 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Students with limited access to personal computers can still access their accounts from any computer at any location.
Teachers can deliver an extensive range of rich media content and study tools to ALL students in a safe online environment.
Teachers can use the sites for in‐class group activities, or for homework assignments and projects.
Set‐Up, Registration, and Technical Support
Students and teachers create their own single sign‐in Oxford Next user accounts. All access to the sites is through a unique user‐generated ID and password created at account set‐up.
Individual site registration codes need only be used once at time of activation.
All users can access 24/7 online technical support through the sites.
Teachers, schools, and districts who implement Shakespeare Online have NO set‐up or administrative responsibilities.
Once a registration code is used, there is no need for teachers to keep the codes or collect them for re‐use.
Teachers and school and district staff are not responsible for technical support or trouble‐shooting.
User‐friendly Customizable Interface
The Oxford Next platform and interface instantly synchronizes all content tabs according to act and scene.
The toggle on/off content feature and the double‐pane view with moveable tabs allow for flexible, customizable, and individualized access to content.
The simple and intuitive Shakespeare Online interface requires no special training or in‐service for teachers and students.
Students and teachers can customize the content views to compare content and to reflect their immediate needs and priorities.
School Licensing
Schools can opt to purchase an unlimited user, one‐year, or three‐year school license. Once activated, students have access to the websites for the duration of the license.
A license allows a school to make Shakespeare Online accessible quickly and easily to every student in the course without any administration, set‐up, or monitoring.
© Oxford University Press Canada | Shakespeare Online Usage Report | 2011 21
Features Description Benefits according to users
Interactive Playscript
The complete playscript with interactive toggles is available for each play and offers reading and comprehension support for the play’s language, literary devices, and characters along with a basic audio reading of the script.
Students have 24/7 access to an extensive range of study and support tools designed to help them get exactly the support they need to read and comprehend the play whenever and wherever they need it – at school or at home.
Teachers know that students have the means to individualize their own studying and reading outside of class, when teacher support and assistance is limited.
Multimedia Content
Each play site includes an unprecedented collection of the highest quality full‐length feature films, stage productions, audio dramatizations, production stills, and art images.
All performances and media resources can be bookmarked and are accessible by act and scene. Films and stage productions can also be viewed in their entirety.
Teachers and students can, for the first time ever, access various media presentations of Shakespeare in class or from home without the need to access multiple disks or sites.
Students can experience Shakespeare in ways that best suit their needs and learning styles and can instantly view, discuss, and compare multiple interpretations of the plays.
Teachers can enrich their instructional approaches and expectations of students knowing that all students have access to the same wide variety of material.
Graphic Novel
A “quick” text graphic novel edition offers stunning illustrations and abridged text for a highly visual and faster‐paced read.
Students can choose to read a graphic edition of the play along with the original text to help them visualize and understand the play’s events and characters.
Teachers have a unique and engaging graphic alternative to the original playscript to support differentiated instruction and individualized learning.
Self‐Check Questions
The Self‐Check section allows students to build customized self‐tests and quizzes around acts and scenes in the play. Students take the tests online and receive instant feedback on their performance. The Self‐Check tracking window shows students their overall results.
Students can self‐assess their knowledge of the events and messages of the play at a time and place convenient to them.
Teachers can spend more time on indepth discussion of the play’s meaning and big ideas in class when students are able to self‐assess their basic knowledge of the play using the Self‐Checks.
