Socrative Reviews & Product Details

Training is essential to achieve the objectives, which is why there are tools like Socrative, specifically designed to ensure that you can implement courses, consultancies, and workshops online, but with high quality. What I like most about this software is that you can have the students connected through any computer in real time. You can also implement many practical techniques in your consultancies so that you can evaluate the classes. The tool gives you ample freedom to evaluate through questionnaires, tests, workshops, among other options that will adapt to the type of evolution method you want to implement. I find it very helpful that you can get reports of the results of your classes, which you can download in Excel or simply store them safely in the cloud. Something that undoubtedly increases the quality of this software is that it allows learning to be retroactive where the instructor is part of every process in the class.

It would greatly enhance the experience for Socrative users if the questionnaires were more interactive, such as by integrating audio or video within them. Additionally, being able to edit any of these questionnaires after saving them is really complicated, especially if it's your first time using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I have access to student responses in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to have more choices of question types (like matching). My students get frustrated that their short-answers are counted "wrong" when they aren't typed in exactly as I put them in. Even though I tell them that I will check those answers myself, they believe what the machine says over what I say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick monitoring the learning's of my students. Easy to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't do personalized questions for different groups at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It saves an awful lot of time and gives pupils immediate feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- It would be great if it linked with Google classroom

- It would be great if you could have a whole class mark book where it shows all the scores for every test/quiz set that gives averages and can identify "hotspots" within the test that can be addressed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Socrative offers a simple and easy to use platform for immediate feedback for students, enabling powerful total participation techniques. This helps me adjust instruction on the fly and provide feedback to shore up accurate understanding before moving on. The "quick question" feature is particularly great! I've found it most effective coupled with my PowerPoint where I have questions pre-written - only delivering them verbally required me to repeat the question often and disadvantage hearing-challenged students.

While this is more preference, I'd really like for students to not have to download an app to participate - this is where I've found Plickers to be a better product as it's not dependent on student technology. There are ways to overcome this, but you need to consider your context and your students before making the call. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of integration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support many students and many rooms in same time and can see students activity in realtime. Students can reconnect (refresh) to do the exam if they have some network problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Difficult to proctoring in online exam (but we apply with Zoom and co-teacher.) Don't have tool for analysis question such as KR-20 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Questions and answer choices are randomized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If a student gets logged off they need to start all over again. I also think that there should be the option of setting time limits for tests/quizzes and the option of "kicking a student" out of a test/quiz if they shouldn't be logged into the test. Tests should also be able to be merged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Saving paper and not having to grade exams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like a time stamp for when each student starts and ends their questions. I would also like to remove a student during a particular session so that it does not show the student as logged in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite part of this tool is that it allows you to quickly assess your student's understanding of a topic or standard and then plan for necessary interventions. When you are needing a user-friendly way to asses students, this is your golden ticket. You can use it as a fun review game, a short exit ticket, or even a summative assessment. I enjoyed the fact that you have several options when deciding what type of questions you would like to give. There is the true or false, multiple-choice, or short answer. I would often use the short-answer response to check my student's grammar or spelling. This is easily achieved because students must type in their responses and it has to match the key exactly to earn points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not the most attractive layout for the teacher or student view. I do believe with a little more added dimension to the graphic design or updated approach to the games for a wider age range of students this tool could be phenomenal. This was not a big issue for me, but the way the data is presented at the end of a short answer assessment would be better if you could reduce it down to one screen.
