My Take
For the teacher, it's easy to set up and easy to follow students' progress. For students, it's easy to log in, easy to follow the directions, and easy to get instant feedback. The instant feedback keeps everyone learning and engaged. The practice sets are also a nice length--not too much, and not too little. There's some variety available now, and I look forward to more as the tool grows.
How I Use It
I assign practice sets to students. Students take some class time and some homework time to practice their grammar (and typing), with easy, instantaneous feedback for all. I'm eager to see what comes of the new diagnostic tool.

Individualized Practice!
I love that there is a diagnostic so the practice is individualized, and the students can move at their own pace. The only part that is frustrating is on some when they have to combine sentences, it will say they are incorrect even when it is correct. But that is minor issue compared to the practice they are getting. Best of all, the free version is great!
