This study examined the effects of Inspiration 6 software in comparison to traditional textbook instruction in social studies classes at the high school level. Twenty-nine tenth-grade students in general education and 20 students with mild disabilities were randomly assigned to receive instruction using a cognitive organizer or traditional textbook instruction format. The study found that those students using the cognitive organizer tool provided by Inspiration 6 performed better than their traditionally-taught counterparts.
