"Easy to use, stronger content needed"
4/5
What do you like best about alta?

Students receive instant feedback and guidance through questions. If students are stuck they can ask for help within the questions and practice more. It is easy to select content questions for assignments, quizzes, and exams. Normally content issues are addressed quickly. Easy purchasing and cost is great for students.

It is limited on your control of types of questions within learning objectives. Some of the rigor of the questions are low. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helping Student Succeed"
4/5
What do you like best about alta?

Love that Alta is mastery based. When a student needs extra help in an area, Alta backs up and explains concepts that a student may have missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about alta?

Sometimes content that is presented is turned around for students and they can't make that jump to something presented in class and they think it is a totally different concept. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Knewton is great, but has places to improve"
4/5
What do you like best about alta?

Their product is very affordable. It is also developed in a manner that is accessible to students with special needs. The interface is elegant and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about alta?

Some content areas are at a level too high for the intended audience. Instructors do not have enough control to decide what is best for their students. Struggling students that don't ask questions spin their wheels in an assignment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
