You want them to study and revise at home, they want to be on youtube or bebo or facebook, or texting and instant messaging. </p> <p>Traditional study techniques have a tough job facing up to that kind of competition.</p> <p>InQuizitor Solo helps make homework fun, gives parents help with exam revision and provides software for studying at home that children will actually want to use.</p> <p>It really is the best of both worlds:</p> <p><strong>Real games design</strong> means the kids see it as non-condescending, credible gameplay. They will <em>choose</em> to do this instead of playing Xbox or Playstation games - or trying to find clandestine online games when they should be doing something else. </p> <p><strong>Tried and tested methodology</strong> means the teaching and memory techniques used are rock solid. In some contexts they might be considered old-fashioned, but when presented in InQuizitor's fast-moving game-playing, high-score challenging, beat-your-previous-best world ... it's a powerful combination.</p> <p>InQuizitor's strength lies in helping students build up a strong body of knowledge in any subject:</p> <p>Facts<br> Figures<br> Definitions<br> Places<br> Dates<br> Names<br> Acronyms<br> Vocabulary</p> <p>... not only to help study for exams where that information is essential, but also to provide a platform of knowledge that opens up the rest of the curriculum. </p> <p>InQuizitor Solo provides 3 key elements to parents trying to help their children study at home:</p> <p>InQuizitor Player. The gaming environment that plays the Quizzes.<br> InQuizitor Editor.
