Thank you for sharing, Jason. This is an amazing tool, and it’s free! I had never heard of it before, so here’s another reason to read the posts on this invaluable community resource.
I just visited the website, and it’s not completely free for instructors. There is a payment of $10, but it’s not clear whether that is per month or a one-time fee. Can you tell us, Jason?
Hi Birgit
We do actually have a completely free plan that allows you to use Side Study for all your assignments! There is also an upgraded plan for $10/yr for a teacher/school that provides additional features. There is no per student cost. We just implemented the free plan recently and need to update the website. Glad you like the tool!
Thanks, Jason. I’m going to teach myself how to use this tool.
