United StatesAktiv Learning is an active learning platform built specifically for college-level chemistry and mathematics. Say goodbye to static content and generic multiple choice questions and hello to dynamic problems that are designed to help students learn and visualize abstract concepts in STEM. Aktiv Learning allows chemistry instructors to ask students engaging questions, such as drawing Lewis structures, and receive real-time information on what structures the class is drawing. The app features a custom-built tool that allows students and instructors to quickly and intuitively draw Lewis structures on mobile devices. Additionally, both students and instructors have access to over 250 built-in questions related to Lewis structures, resonance, molecular geometries, VSEPR, hybridization, sigma and pi bonding, and molecular polarity. Features: • Intuitive Lewis structures drawing tool built specifically for mobile devices - Use as engaging demonstration for your students to show example Lewis structures and reinforce concepts such as the octet rule, formal charge, and VSEPR. Students can take advantage of the drawing tool to visualize the relationship between Lewis structures and molecular shapes. • Create in-class or homework assignments - Perfect for clicker, recitation, or review problems. Students receive push notifications to alert and remind them of pending assignments. • Assign or practice with over 250 built-in questions related to Lewis structures, resonance, molecular geometries, VSEPR, hybridization, sigma and pi bonding, and molecular polarity. • Real-time class results - Quickly find common incorrect structures to address student misunderstanding before exams. • Isoform recognition - Aktiv’s technology recognizes correct answers independent of the drawn structure orientation. • Export student activity - Student participation and performance exported in a tap of a button. • Easy sign-up - Students and instructors can create accounts and join courses all within the app in a few steps. • School IT and device independent - Assign, work, and review from any mobile device and over any network connection.

It doesn't work
This platform used to be awesome but the last few homework assignments would bug out and crash the program every time I put in the right answer and now I'm getting the same thing just trying to open it. Which means I now have to hope the mobile app works and take my final exam on my phone....
United StatesGreat app, just missing simple features
I’ve used this app for the entire year and it has served me well for the most part. The one thing that really irks me though, is the fact that there isn’t an in-app notification system. I can’t count how many times I’ve completely forgotten about assignments that were due simply because all the notifications went to my email instead of my phone directly. I feel like this is an aspect of the app can be easily corrected, and I hope it does in the near future.
United StatesDO NOT USE!
I have to have this app for a class that I am taking. Well the first assignment, extremely easy and simple math btw, and I can’t even understand how to submit answers and you get punished if you get it wrong. At least make your app user friendly. A simple guide on how to use it would help. It’s sickening that you have to pay for this and your grade depends on it but it’s impossible to use.
United States0 must have a course code
I’ll never understand why you MUST have a course code to even use the app or program. Waste of time but it seems pretty awesome if you can actually use it.

United StatesThe subscripts don’t show up on computer.
On the website, Aktiv doesn’t show the subscripts or superscripts for chemical equations. I have a Mac so I thought it would be fixed by now.
United StatesVery solid, but is missing a couple features
First off, this app works well consistently, which is a huge plus. It does everything it needs to do, and does it well. There’s only a few things I would want changed: You can view the periodic table from the questions in the app, but you can’t zoom in on it, so if you’re on a small screen it’s pretty much useless. You can’t sign up for Aktiv learning or join a class from the app or the mobile site (IIRC,) which is a pain if you don’t have a computer or don’t take it to class. I had to leave in the middle of class and go to a computer lab to sign up. On questions where you’re given an incomplete Lewis structure to finish, you can’t reset the question to the starting state, so if you get confused by messing around with it too much, it’s hard to get back on track.
