Item Description:
InspireData 1.5 is the most engaging way for students to examine data and explore relationships. InspireData 1.5 is published by Inspiration Software.
InspireData tools make it easy to change variables and plot types so students can explore data in multiple, meaningful ways. This encourages them to investigate data analytically, ask more questions, and apply their understanding of the data to form better conclusions and continue exploration.
InspireData lets students see the data move right before their eyes with just the click of an icon. They actively explore and analyze data using dynamic Venn, bar, stack, pie and axis plots to interpret information and draw conclusions.
InspireData helps students successfully:
InspireData includes over 100 content rich databases to jumpstart analysis. Additionally, you can create your own databases or import data from the Internet. When creating your own databases, the new InspireData e-Survey tool allows you to easily publish an online survey and then download results to provide instant analysis.
InspireData™ is a powerful data analysis tool. As students visually explore data in science, mathematics and social studies, they improve data literacy and strengthen important analytical skills.
Develop data literacy
As students organize and analyze data they ask meaningful questions and dig deeper to solve problems. They move beyond simply memorizing facts and start acquiring the skills of reasoning, inquiry and communication. This process builds data literacy and makes learning a richer, more meaningful experience.
Collect and organize data
Students use InspireData's Table View to enter, import and customize data from experiments or research activities.
In Table View, students:
Analyze data with multiple plot types
Venn, bar, stack, pie and axis plots offer students multiple ways to visualize and investigate data.
