# Apps

With the Twente Go-Lab editor you can combine digital labs with multimedia material (text/video) but also with a large number of apps, small tools that help students in the research learning process, for example when setting up an experiment. Below these apps are divided into a number of categories. As a new ILS designer, it is best to start with the standard research cycle and the associated basic apps. Only then explore other apps. When you create a new ILS, the standard research cycle (not the apps) is automatically filled in. Most apps can be filled with content and you can often configure certain settings of an app. If you click on the logo you will see the apps from that category on Wikiwijs.
| Basic apps. These allow you to create a basic ILS (Inquiry Learning Space) for the standard inquiry cycle in Go-Lab. These are: Orientation (app: Concept mapper), Conceptualization (app: hypothesis scratchpad), Experimentation (apps: Experiment Design tool, Observation tool, Data Entry tool, Data viewer), and Conclusion (Conclusion tool and Quiz tool).
| General apps. These are apps that can be used effectively in an ILS but are not specifically designed for inquiry-based learning, such as Name the Frame, the Input Field, the Noteboard and a calculator
| Domain Specific Apps. A number of apps are specific to a particular domain, such as Geogebra (which allows Geogebra applications to be placed in an ILS), or an app with an Interactive Periodic Table of Elements.
| Learning Analytics apps. These are apps that allow you to monitor the behavior of students in an ILS. An example is the Timeline app that shows how students have progressed through the different phases of an ILS over time. For the teacher, these apps show the login names of the students; a student only sees his/her own name, the other names are anonymized.
| Collaboration apps. The most important app here is the Collaboration tool. When added to an ILS, students can work on most apps and some labs together, remotely. As a teacher, you can organize students into collaborative groups. Other collaboration apps include a Shared Wiki, a Conference app, and a Chat.
