How do I get a Free Trial?
Try before you buy!
You can trial all Dynamic Learning titles for
free so that you can see the benefits Dynamic Learning brings before you buy. A trial gives you full access to all the resources in a title, with a set of logins for both teachers and students, for 30 days.
SPECIAL OFFER! SPECIAL OFFER! SPECIAL OFFER!
We’re giving every teacher extended free access to ALL existing Dynamic Learning titles from April 2010 until August 2010 (so you can benefit from Dynamic Learning for 4 whole months if you sign up now!).
All you need to do is:
1. Click on the subject you are interested in then select titles which you'd like to trial by clicking on Register Your Interest.
2. Fill in a simple form and then we'll do the rest.
As well as extended free access to existing titles, you’ll also be able to have a free 30 day trial of all new Dynamic Learning titles. Again, simply find the title you’d like and then Register Your Interest. We'll send you all the information you need as soon as trials are up and running in April 2010.
How do I subscribe to a Dynamic Learning title?
Please note: Subscriptions will be available from April 2010. If you know which title you wish to buy simply click on Register Your Interest, fill in the form and then we'll send you everything you need in the spring.
Once trials are live, you can convert your trial into a subscription at any time (or you can buy a
subscription straight away – you don’t have to trial anything if you know what you want!). Subscriptions are available on both an
Annual and a
Subscription Plus* basis. The price of a subscription varies according to the size of your institution/cohort to ensure you have the best value for money. For full pricing options simply find the title you want and click on the Price button. Alternatively you can click Add to Basket and select the relevant options when prompted.
In addition to subscribing to individual titles, you can also subscribe to special
Money Saving Offers which are relevant titles grouped by subject and/or level. For example, you could subscribe to all the Dynamic Learning resources for Science at KS3 rather than subscribing to each individual title. These title bundles offer further value-for-money and are perfect for purchase at Local Authority level too.
To find out more about these offers click here.
There are different pricing options when subscribing to Dynamic Learning. One option is to buy an Annual subscription, which you then renew each year.
Alternatively you can choose to buy Subscription Plus which means that you pay a one-off fee and can subscribe to that title/course for the life-time of that particular title/course. Subscription Plus offers great value for money and it’s a brilliant way to ensure you make the most of your budget while it’s available!
For example:
Following the curriculum change for GCSE English in 2010, you could choose Subscription Plus for our new
AQA GCSE English Language & English Literature.
You then would have access to all the resources, until the next change to the English GCSE curriculum (which won’t be for several years!).
The one-off Subscription Plus payment works out cheaper than paying for AQA GCSE English Language & Literature on an annual basis for more than one year.
Money Saving Offer bundles are just that… bundles of titles that save you money!
For example:
If you wanted to subscribe to
AQA Biology for AS you could also buy a separate subscription for
AQA Biology for A2.
However, if you chose to subscribe to the
AQA Biology A level Money Saving Bundle you would get both titles for a lower price. If you chose Subscription Plus on the
AQA Biology A level Money Saving Bundle you’d save even more of your budget!
AQA Biology for AS: £100.00+VAT each year
AQA Biology for A2: £100.00+VAT each year
AQA Biology for A level: £150 each year
AQA Biology for A level Subscription Plus: £450 for the lifetime of the specification
To find out what offers are available simply browse through the relevant subject. Additionally on each title page, for instance Connecting Science Year 7 for Key Stage 3, you will be able to see if there is a related Money Saving Bundle available, like the Connecting Science Year 7, 8 and 9 Money Saving Bundle.
What happens if I previously bought a Dynamic Learning Network disc?
If you have previously purchased a Dynamic Learning Network Edition disc, published before 2010, then you can continue to use it for as long as you like, and
you’ll find additional support here.
SPECIAL OFFER! SPECIAL OFFER! SPECIAL OFFER!
We know that you’ll really like the flexibility and easy access that our new Dynamic Learning website offers, so we’re giving everyone who has a Dynamic Learning Network disc one year’s free subscription to the same title online.
Simply e-mail
dynamiclearning@hodder.co.uk with details of your institution and the product(s) you own to take advantage of this offer.

What technical requirements do I need to use Dynamic Learning?
All you really need to use Dynamic Learning is an Internet Connection!
You'll need a modern web browser with JavaScript and CSS support, and the Flash plug-in. For the best experience you'll need a fast broadband connection. Dynamic Learning works on the majority of browsers but if you are unsure give our
Technical Support line a ring.
