I've collected all the OCR templates in one place and tweaked the word files so that they're slightly easier to use.

There are collections of copyright free image sources and sources of free audio and video. There's also a set of Photoshop and Illustrator tools which can save time during writeups.

For teachers, I've also done some work on making the OCR markgrids easier to edit. And have a way in which mailmerge can be used to make some of the filling in easier to handle.

In particular, this can help with the repetitiveness of filling in the candidate name and number. The mailmerge then splits the markgrid into separate documents for each candidate and, with some luck, names the files in the way that the exam board wants. It's something I find saves a huge amount of time and saves me misspelling names. Well worth a look.
