The foremost tool to visualize, investigate and understand data
InspireData™
applies the proven strategies of visual learning to data literacy,
inspiring students to discover meaning as they collect and explore data
in a dynamic inquiry process.
Students formulate questions and
make connections between data and its visual representations to
interpret information, solve problems and draw conclusions. As a
result, students develop deeper content knowledge and stronger critical
thinking skills.

Strengthen the inquiry process
As students organize and analyze data they ask meaningful questions
and dig deeper to solve problems. Students move instantly from data
collection to analysis with integrated Table and Plot Views. The
multiple plot types—Venn, stack, pie and axis plots—support the inquiry
process and encourage students to explore data in a variety of ways.
InspireData's unique Time Series animation represents data as it
changes over time, helping students understand trends and make future
predictions.
Build data analysis skills

examples in science, mathematics, social studies and more to get
students started quickly analyzing data and understanding connections.
Students can develop their own data sets for analysis using easy data
collection tools including a Questionnaire tool, import function and
quick table entry.
Improve data literacy
Using InspireData, students make sense of the information
encountered in daily life by collecting and analyzing data in a visual
way. As students move beyond simply memorizing facts and start
acquiring the skills of reasoning, inquiry and communication, learning
becomes a richer and more meaningful experience.
