Connecting the Dots: Cross-Curricular Learning with MASSOLIT

By giving teachers and students full access to all 20 subjects through one subscription, MASSOLIT makes it easy to explore the cross-curricular links that make learning richer, deeper, and more memorable.

Making Knowledge Meaningful

By linking topics across subjects, teachers can show students how the knowledge they’re building in one area strengthens their understanding in another. For example:

• When studying Shakespeare, an English Literature class could delve into History, Religious Studies or Sociology lectures to explore religion in early modern Europe.
  • The Tudors: Politics and Religion, 1509-1603
  • Religion and Conflict
• A Geography unit on climate change can connect with Physics, Sociology and Economics lectures on sustainability and global markets.
  • The Economic Cycle and Sustainability
  • The Physics of Climate Change
  • Green Criminology
• In Psychology, lessons on statistics and research methods come to life through Mathematics and Sociology content.
  • Key Research Methods
  • Introduction to Statistics

With MASSOLIT, these connections are just a click away – no extra planning, no additional resources required. Rainey Wyatt, Middle School Director at Oxbridge Academy, Florida explains, "MASSOLIT provides perfectly crafted lectures that supplement our existing curriculum. We strive for deep and broad learning, and MASSOLIT provides context and expertise that help our students understand the material and make connections."

Encouraging Independent Thinking

Cross-curricular exploration doesn’t just improve subject knowledge – it builds academic independence. When students begin to make links between disciplines on their own, they develop the analytical and creative skills that universities and employers value most.

With MASSOLIT, schools can encourage this curiosity safely and productively as Miranda Saville, Vice Principal Trinity Sixth Form Academy says, "We want to create autonomous learners who are naturally curious and inquisitive – the breath and scope of MASSOLIT encourages students go down a rabbit hole of inquiry following their own interests."

Supporting Interdisciplinary Teaching

MASSOLIT is a practical solution for teachers who either teach multiple subjects or need to provide cover for absent colleagues. For teachers covering classes outside their usual subject area MASSOLIT provides instant access to expert-led, syllabus-aligned lectures across all subjects. Absent teachers can even set MASSOLIT lectures as cover work. 

Bringing It All Together

In a landscape where teachers need to balance time, expertise, and student engagement, having trusted, high-quality resources is essential. Every MASSOLIT lecture is delivered by academics at the top of their field and carefully reviewed by our in-house team, ensuring accuracy, curriculum alignment, and pedagogical excellence. 

With MASSOLIT, schools and teachers can be confident that the content students are learning is not only engaging but reliable, rigorous, and trusted. As Ceri Boyle, Assistant Principle at NCLT put it, "We feel very strongly that the MASSOLIT lectures are helping to foster the approach to learning needed for high results at A Level as well as preparing students for university study."
