IXL Learning vs. Synergy Education Platform

It is great for providing students extra resources and opportunities for practice. In this case, it is extremely well suited. Moreover, since every student is different, the dynamic adjustment allows students to work through more/less problems depending on their level of mastery which can help students pinpoint areas of issues to discuss in the class. It is less appropriate for settings where a student may struggle to teach themselves as this requires some level of independence on part of the user.

Synergy is well-suited for seamlessly bridging enrollment and student information. Other organizations I have worked at used two separate platforms for this purpose. Synergy also merges, seamlessly, parent contact functions, using one platform.

IXL is the best for easy to find practice for math standards. Freckle has more in depth features and integrates with other Renaissance products well, but can be hard to learn or use. Prodigy is a fun math game platform that works well for extra student practice or learning, but isn't as targeted as IXL

I like how synergy has everything in one place.

• It has allowed our students to be remediated or enriched on a much easier basis without having to come up with ideas for them.

Incentivized

• it takes longer to do everything because it involves to many clicks to enter data and save it
• longer time
• because it does not autosave, you have to start from scratch if you hit the back button or change the screen
