[in]Form

[in]Form is developed to allow pupils studying science to work seamlessly together in a variety of learning contexts. The app provides avenues for pupils to share their learning observations and experiences through the sharing of media such as pictures and videos. Their contribution is visible to other pupils in their group or class, and they can interact by ‘liking’ or posting comments.

Social affective factors such as motivation are also addressed by the of virtual badges that are awarded to pupils based on the quantity and location of their contributions. Questions can be set for pupils, who can do observational and/ or informational research prior to answering. [in]Form is deployed as a  multi-platform application via Android, iOS and Windows 8 Tablet apps, and only needs an active WIFI/4G connection to work. In situations where a connection is absent, an offline mode allows pupils to continue using the app, effectively creating a seamless learning experience.
