Whether you’re a K-12 teacher, a full-time lecturer or a research professor, textbooks are often one of the most important tools you've got. Inkling is a next-generation learning tool that integrates interactivity, social media and content under one roof in powerful ways. Move beyond the printed word with Inkling.
Power to the people.
When students have a sense of control over their learning, they’re more engaged. Inkling gives students the freedom to learn however they’d like, whether by starting with the homework, watching a video or reading the text. They get instant feedback from formative assessment, and they participate socially with other Inkling users. Students even see their content in syllabus order, so whatever the path your course takes, students will follow in lockstep—without giving up the freedom to explore.
For educators, that means students are more autonomous, that they have a better sense of their own progress, and that they’re more likely to complete readings and assignments before coming to class. A better all-around student experience makes for a better educator experience, too.
Let’s get personal.
What if classroom time and lectures were targeted specifically at the individuals in your class? What if you had up-to-the-minute data about which concepts students found most challenging? What if they could raise their hand anonymously in class to ask a question? Inkling gathers anonymized data about your class as a whole and reports it to you, better informing your decisions for instruction time. And that’s just one way Inkling can enhance and personalize the learning process.
Assessment, properly assessed.
Ideally, formative assessment helps the instructor better understand the student and helps the student deepen his or her understanding of the topic at hand. But all too often, especially with digital content, assessment is shallow and barely constructive. Inkling marries learning content with assessment and social interaction to provide realtime feedback to students, and powerful aggregate statistical data to teachers and professors. Assessment becomes an instructive process for everyone involved by providing useful information to the educator and the learner. How’s that for high marks?
Use it.
