      Insight and Analysis

      There is little general analysis of Intellectus available at this time; however, there are some scholarly papers for educational use cases that discuss the technology, such as this one by  Allen C. Chen, Sabrina Moran, Yuting Sun and Kim-Phuong L. Vu and presented at the International Conference on Engineering Psychology and Cognitive Ergonomics in 2018.

      Usability compared to other applications is considered a plus for Intellectus. Here is a selection from the summary of the report: “The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness and efficiency of using IS and SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) to conduct and interpret analyses. An output presented in narrative format could be beneficial to students learning statistics who may have difficulty interpreting results. Overall, accuracy scores and time on task for the two software were not significantly different. Perceived usability and ease of use ratings for IS were significantly higher compared to SPSS. On the other hand, ratings of perceived usefulness were not significantly different between the two software. Results also suggested that participants preferred IS and felt more confident in conducting statistical analyses when using the software. Though there was no significant difference in task accuracy between the two software, data-to-text output helped students with interpreting assumptions for analyses and formatting written results.”
