Learning Technology Works with a Well-Developed Learning System
WIRIS fits perfectly with the already-well-developed learning management systems such as Moodle and Blackboard. Before WIRIS was available in the Moodle platform, it was very difficult for math students to utilize the online quiz function of the Moodle platform. There was no plug-in's that supported mathematical symbols, expressions and equations.
Other competitors that offer similar functionalities include:
1. MathWorks - it provides products and services based on MATLAB. While MATLAB provides even more powerful mathematical and scientific tools, it cannot be embedded into a learning management system, and must be accessed as a separate software. This does not help to centralize learning into one platform.
2. Maplesoft - offers a range of products such as Maple T.A. that allows students to complete online math quizzes. However, Maple T.A. is again a separate software that students need to access separately.
