What To Expect – Inquiz Labs

What to Expect from INQUIZ Learning Platform?

If your family is new to the idea of online school, you’ll want to take the time to learn how it works before you begin. Having an understanding of what’s involved, the time commitment needed, and the tools you’ll use will help you and your student prepare for a smooth start.

What is the Role of an Inquiz Student?

Naturally, the role of any student is to learn! But when the classroom is at home and online, the expected routine may look a bit different from their normal student experience. To help students get acquainted with the lesson format, the online system, and the tools they’ll use, INQUIZ provides a robust orientation program. Additionally, teachers are available to support students as they transition to online school.

Parent’s involvement as learning coaches

With INQUIZ, a parent or other trusted adult supports the student’s online education at home as a Learning Coach. The role of the learning coach is typically to help with organization and structuring the learning day to ensure the student stays on track. In this essential role, the Learning Coach may also provide assistance and refer their student to the teacher for additional help.

A Day of Online School

Families who attend online school say there’s no such thing as a typical day! That’s because they enjoy a higher degree of flexibility than is possible in a brick-and-mortar school. While there are some fixed-schedule items, the family has the ability to adjust the learning schedule to accommodate a student’s needs and preferences

Mobile Devices and Third-Party Curriculum

Although we regularly test our education management system, many mobile devices may not be fully compatible with third-party curriculum platforms that are accessed through INQUIZ. These include: Chromebook, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Kindle, and Android phones & tablets.

Connectivity

Broadband connection is required.

For one student, a minimum download speed of 8Mbps should be requested from your ISP.
For two or more students, a minimum download speed of 25Mbps should be requested from your ISP.
NOTE: As you add more users/devices (e.g., computers, gaming consoles, streaming devices, etc.)
the need for bandwidth increases. Therefore, if you use multiple devices, you should request a minimum download
speed of 25Mbps.
NOTE: If you have a satellite connection, you may experience performance issues depending on outside
weather conditions and latency.
You can test your current Internet speeds at http://www.speedtest.net
Speeds less than those noted above may result in a less than optimum user experience

Data usage

The amount of data transferred over your Internet connection each month depends on what your student’s courses and online activities are each day. We are not able to provide this information because each session in INQUIZ is unique and varied. Please contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to discuss the best option for your needs.
