Software Built for Education Researchers

We partner with education researchers to build research-grade software platforms, from concept to deployment.

Talk to an engineer, not a salesperson.

Reasoning Chain - logical reasoning assessment

We Also Built

Reasoning Chain

A novel assessment tool we built within STEM Fluency that goes beyond multiple choice. Instructors needed a way to test whether students can actually reason through a problem, not just pick the right answer. So we built it.

  • The Problem

    Multiple choice questions can tell you if a student knows the answer, but not if they understand the reasoning. Researchers needed a tool that assesses whether students can construct a logical argument from scratch, not just recognize one.

  • What We Built

    A drag-and-drop assessment where instructors create questions with four components, and students must assemble them into a coherent logical chain:

    • Reasoning ElementsThe key logical steps
    • Connecting Words"therefore", "because", etc.
    • Conclusion SentencesThe final answer
    • Instructor AuthoringEasy question creation UI

Why this matters for you

This is the kind of custom, research-driven tool we specialize in. If you have a novel assessment or learning interaction in mind, we can design and engineer it from your research concept to a production-ready tool used by thousands of students.
