## Reviews

### "We use OWL for high stakes exams, practice activities, homework assignments and in class quizzes." — 5.0/5

> **Susan** | *July 26, 2017* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to create speaking assessments and the flexibility of test formats.  We use OWL for testing all 4 communicative modes.  Having the ability to test students speaking really encourages them to speak in class.  We use it to create authentic real world assessments and practice activities.  Students are able to access assignments from outside the classroom and this takes learning beyond the typical classroom period.
> 
> **Cons**: Because it is not free, I worry that our school district will discontinue our subscription and I will loose many hours of work.

### "It's a HOOT" — 4.0/5

> **Casey** | *November 23, 2021* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The best part of the set up is that it is very easy to get started, connects easily with your meeting software, and follows you around the room.
> 
> **Cons**: We wished there was a blue tooth type capability so it would be wireless.
> 
> Overall its quite entertaining on the various views and how it interacts with the speakers presenting.
