The site also includes flipped video tutorials and resources that support the development of self-directed learners. Niven has built community engagement by hosting the MC² Maths Challenge Question of the Week, which is broadcast live throughout the whole college assembly. He has also facilitated the development and implementation of teacher observation protocols and opportunities for the college’s middle years teachers.
