User Testimonials
IXL LearningTORSH
Likelihood to Recommend
It is great for providing students extra resources and opportunities for practice. In this case, it is extremely well suited. Moreover, since every student is different, the dynamic adjustment allows students to work through more/less problems depending on their level of mastery which can help students pinpoint areas of issues to discuss in the class. It is less appropriate for settings where a student may struggle to teach themselves as this requires some level of independence on part of the user.

Cons
  • I would like for it not to drop students down as much when they miss a question. My students tend to get too frustrated and quit when it does.

Alternatives Considered
IXL Learning was easier for the students to navigate, and it seems to have a better layout overall. NoRedInk appears slightly antiquated, and students were often confused on how to use the different features or answer questions. However, NoRedInk is the superior tool for teaching writing skills and giving students authentic writing practice. IXL Learning is better when it comes to practicing specific skills.
