Product Description:

iStudy is unique study software that provides a dynamic, fast and effective way for students to learn their classroom material and self-prep for their weekly quizzes and tests.

Finally, a study tool that can supplement the learning process of virtually any topic! Unlike conventional educational software, iStudy is not limited by a set curriculum or a specific series of textbooks. iStudy is open and ready to accommodate whatever material there is to learn.

The program begins with collaborative or independent exploration of a topic. Then, through the application of knowledge, and through practice, students begin to refine their thinking. As they continue with iStudy, students formulate more powerful questions and solutions, making the move toward greater learning expertise.

iStudy has been designed to be as effective for computer beginners as it is for experts. Even first time computer users will benefit with iStudy's animated and engaging user-friendly interface.

iStudy goes way beyond supplemental chapter quizzes. It is the only study tool that changes and grows alongside each learner with every use. iStudy allows students to prioritize, reorganize, randomize, sort, eliminate or add material at any time thus ensuring that learning stays fresh and challenging.

iStudy encourages students to be responsible for their own learning. With iStudy, students do not play a passive role - they are active, developing personal study strategies and a valuable capacity for learning how to learn. iStudy students become energized and derive excitement and pleasure from learning which leads to increased motivation and a lifelong desire to conquer knowledge.

1. iStudy has been designed to work best in a school or group environment with students developing their own lessons and trading them with their peers. VBA with Excel works very well with both Mac and Windows individually. VBA and Excel work very well between the two platforms. Anything created on a Mac can be viewed on a Windows machine and vice versa.
2. At the moment the development of the software has been much faster due to iStudys marriage with Excel. We do however have plans to integrate Excel’s spreadsheet functions directly into iStudy.
3. The bottom line is that iStudy works well with Excel 98 through Excel XP and with Windows 97 through Windows XP while at the same time iStudy works flawlessly in Mac OS X with Excel X. iStudy lessons are easily exported and imported between the two platforms.

Thank you for your interest.

Why would you build a Mac program like this and require the user to have Excel?

The price. iStudy is not shareware. iStudy is designed to be a comprehensive study aid for students to study more, study faster and stay organized. When a student buys iStudy they are getting a fun study tool that allows them to cope with almost any set of terms, definitions or concepts that their school gives them to memorize. iStudy is a collection of 4 applications bundled into one. Flash iT, Study iT, Test iT, Pocket iT. iStudy is easy to use "out of the box";. There are however many advanced features which a student (or their; parents, tutor, or school) might require support. Some of these features include: the use of filters, images, Remember iT, the creation of trading PoDs, printing Flash Cards, or even moving lessons within a workbook or from one workbook to another. All these features may require support and ConquerKnowledge has factored this into its price. All support issues can be sent to support@conquerknowledge.com. Price discounts of iStudy are available to schools who will offer their own in house support.

Excel pop ups. iStudy was built on top of Excel. To the best of our knowledge we have controlled most of the pop up windows but some still manage to creep through. The fact of the matter is, most of the messages that still creep through will only show up once (providing the user responds with a no). Please identify any such occurrences to support@conquerknowledge.com. Most of these problems will be addressed in future releases.

Speed. iStudy works well with newer machines. We are aware of some speed issues on older machines. We currently are working on a new release of iStudy which greatly improves the overall speed. Early tests show speed improvements of many of its functions by as much as a factor of 10. A beta version of this release will be made available shortly.


We greatly appreciate your feedback and hope that we have addressed most of the issues.
