Description
Spatial Vis is a training tool for engineering, pre-engineering, and other science and technology students. The app teaches freehand sketching of 2D and 3D views, which is an important skill for technical communication and improving one's ability to visualize shapes in 3D. These skills have been shown to increase GPAs and graduation rates in STEM.
Spatial Vis has 10 unique lessons that include orthographic projections, rotations of 3D objects, and flat patterns. Students complete assignments by sketching their solution and submitting their sketch to be automatically graded. Students have access to hints if they get stuck, but Spatial Vis is gamified to encourage students to try on their own before using the help features.
Spatial Vis is designed for students enrolled in a course at a participating institution. Instructors and students not at participating institutions may work on assignments and review the course material through the Not For Course Credit mode.

Ratings and Reviews
Needs Improvement (From a Student)
I’m a student and have to use this app for classwork. The duration of some of the things on here are ridiculous. I understand it’s for improvement but one lesson shouldn’t be 30+ drawings long. I get maybe it’s expected you have a fair, reasonable teacher, but for many of us that’s not the case. Additionally there are just many flaws with the drawings. If a line isn’t straight enough it’s marked, there’s a thing that makes the line straight for you but it makes you sit and wait like 3 seconds, it may not seem like much time but it really adds up as you complete more and more drawings. Hidden lines are another problem, they don’t work. The app rarely recognizes them even if you draw them how you’d like. I’m being fair giving this a 2 start review, I do think this app can help us learn, but there are some major flaws that make this really hard for some students and teachers seem to overlook it.
This is the most pathetic excuse for an app in 2022.
The concept of this app is genius and will really help students, however its current iteration is incredibly pathetic. This performs like an app from 2011, it lacks palm rejection, a smart eraser, and vector graphics. eGrove should be ashamed of the buggy mess they are charging people to use. On the weekends the app is objectively unusable due to the lack of server space. I would not recommend this for your school or institution, it is not worth the headache.

Actually helpful
My physics teacher gave this to us and I actually feel like I’m learning. I can visualize things better
