What types of disabilities or learner challenges faced by students registered at Cabrini's DRC would best be supported by this software?
Cabrini's DRC students who struggle with writing due to a variety of learning, communication, and organizational needs could benefit from Inspiration 9 software's "thinking and learning" graphic organizers that allow students to brainstorm ideas, structure their thoughts, and visually communicate their knowledge.
Provide a specific example of how this software might be used.
When writing papers, students can use this software to "see" their ideas and produce outlines to organize their thoughts. Through Inspiration's software, students can learn how to brainstorm and create outlines for essays and gather and track research information. Inspiration helps students develop a logical flow of information with clear main ideas and supporting details. Inspiration also has a "Presentation Manager" feature which helps students form their diagrams and "mind maps" into organized and effective Power Point presentations.
Is the software user-friendly and intuitive?
Yes, this software is user-friendly and intuitive. It is mainly designed for use in education and has been structured to work well with less sophisticated computers. It is especially helpful for visual learners. Reviews on this software state that a student will know after sampling the free software trial for a few hours if this will be an effective tool for them.
Is the software expensive?
Inspiration 9 Software costs between $30 and $40 which seems reasonable if a student uses the software for all of their classes throughout college. Additionally, a student who masters this software in college could also find it to be beneficial in the workplace.
