"Knewton Alta is truly adaptive"
5/5
What do you like best about alta?

The courseware is truly adaptive. It takes what the student is doing, analyzes it, and gives it questions and instruction where it predicts the student is currently in their learning. The knowledge map and deep analysis done truly helps students master the material and move on.

-note: the price is also amazing- Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about alta?

I do not have anything bad to say. The service, quality, content, instruction, is all top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Non-traditional Students"
4.5/5
What do you like best about alta?

Alta is great at adapting to a student’s knowledge level and helping “fill the cracks” in their foundation. The ability for a student to remediate and review prior topics is great for students returning to school after an absence. This product has made all the difference for one of my non-traditional students as he is able to utilize readings and videos to review material from previous courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about alta?

I don’t have anything I dislike at this point, I think I just need further training on features beyond basic set-up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In some cases, Alta presents problems unlike what we have included in our faculty-created workbook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Integrates easily with blackboard"
4/5
What do you like best about alta?

Ease of use. Lots of support from knewton in setting up the course, back mapping to learning outcomes and real time help. It is affordable and adaptive. Personalized for each user yet I can control what topics students need to work on a given date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about alta?

Wish there was some screen filter which could prohibit Photomath from being used Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Alta helps students succeed."
5/5
What do you like best about alta?

All the questions students are asked are prefaced with open source textbook instruction and videos. Students receive feedback when they answer incorrectly. They also receive instruction in steps they may have missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about alta?

It's not really a complaint, but they don't assess the same way I do, so I can't use it for testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great program!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about alta?

What I like the best is the adaptive nature of Knewton. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about alta?

I dislike the sometimes inflexibility of the program. Students state that they can only give answers in certain formats that often aren't expressly asked for. Mathematical answers can be different but equivalent. I wish the program could accept a greater variety of answer forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Knewton works very well for Algebra"
4.5/5
What do you like best about alta?

The instruction pieces are very clear, and the students appreciate and learn easily from them. The adaptive part is simply the best. The price is right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about alta?

The content is not rigorous for Trignometry or Calculus. I wish it were, because I would love to use it for all my classes, but there is basically one type of Trig word problem, and they give the student the triangle diagram. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
