Community reviews for Inq-ITS

I love this resource - especially the auto-grading as it saves me tremendous time.

I adore this product and use it whenever I can. Its really fun for me to so easily visualize my students' growth with the data they provide, especially because typically grading these kinds of assignments can be so time consuming. I love the InqBlotter feature (real-time, specific information about students that are struggling, so we can provide specific, immediate, feedback). Its also pretty great that many of the labs they have are difficult to do in a real-life, classroom setting. Additionally, the labs that ARE replicable in a classroom can easily be used as an introduction to a hands-on, in-person lab.

I liked how the labs offered were concepts that a typical classroom doesn’t have materials for or are difficult to replicate in a classroom setting. The labs help students find focus in their experiments and not test random things. I do wish there was more freedom in what students could experiment rather than a predetermined goal. There could also be more real world application or some tie in to real research, industry, etc.

This is an excellent tool for extending the students learning at either at home or in the classroom.

The real-time data provided through the Inq-Blotter feature is well worth the added modest expense per teacher. To be able to track student progress, make adjustments to instruction, and observe the results of your instructional intervention in real-time is a classroom game-changer. The tutorial feature (Rex the Dinosaur) provides students with just the right amount of support that allows them to "figure it out". I have also been very impressed with the customer service and tech-support provided by the Inq-ITS staff.
