Support for Teachers

DataLogging Insight is designed to exploit the distinctive properties of both continuous simultaneous and event driven measurements. For Science investigations requiring measurement, DataLogging Insight is ideally suited, because it simplifies many aspects of collecting and displaying data and encourages exploration and initiative.

DataLogging Insight can assist teachers by:

• Allowing the whole class to observe experimental effects on a bold and colourful screen display
• Using the computer's 'real-time' display process to speed up discussion of the results
• Providing analysis aids and curve-fitting facilities to simplify the process of searching for patterns and meaning in results
• Allowing the screen display to be customised to suit a wide variety of applications
• Integrating the graph, table, chart and model display formats allows easy interchange between them
• Import/export of data to & from external software
• Intuitive operating features, minimise the need for complex instructions.

The DataLogging Insight Skills Reference Card provides support by:

• Providing quick answers to questions on operational details
• Prompting students to ask useful questions about data
• Suggesting techniques for analysing data.

DataLogging Insight Teaching and Learning Guide provides support through:

• A wealth of ideas for logging and modelling activities
• Ready-to-use worksheets from beginner to expert
• Numerous examples of the diverse uses of DataLogging Insight
