If they did not get the question correct, IXL provides the solution and explains the problem.

Students receive instant feedback if they got the question correct or not.

I enjoy it because it is a quick way for students to practice and help prepare themselves for tests, quizzes or projects. I love this product! This is a product where the students can not only use in the classroom but they can use it at home, either on their computer, their phone or any other electronic device that can download the app. But don't do IXL ELA, Just find another site, but stop paying for IXL, its not worth your hard earned money. No frustration, and you earn REAL prizes, and there are a lot more classes that IXL could ever have, they even teach javascript! If you want to practice math, do Khan Academy, for the sake of your students. I would switch to Khan Academy in a heartbeat if I wasn't using IXL. But anytime I bring this up around an adult, they just say "Its because you don't like learning." But that's not the case. And what is the reward for succeeding? Pictures! Earn pictures of stuff to use on your profile picture that no one will see! And how are educators and school systems roped in? "Fun and easy way to learn" plastered all over the site. At 90%, you loose at least 7-10 points, and this is the most frustrating thing about the site. For example, at the beginning you get 10 points for a question answered correctly, then, at 20%, you get 8 points, and at 30% you get 7 points, etc. All that really happens is the more you move on the less points you get for a question answered correctly and more points for a question answered incorrectly. Why? Because of the websites "SmartScore" system that uses advanced "algorithms" and whatnot. IXL is a frustrating and tedious way to learn.
