BookWidgets vs Sutori

BookWidgets is a content creation and evaluation tool for teachers to build digital exercises and activities and share them with students. Its library has over 40 widget types, including quizzes, worksheets, games, and interactive activities. Quiz, Video Quiz, Worksheet, and Split Worksheet activities offer 36 question types, 30 of which can be automatically graded. Teachers can use activities for formative or summative assessment, monitor progress, and collect, review, grade, and return work with feedback. LMS integrations include Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Canvas, Moodle, Schoology, Blackboard, Brightspace, itslearning, and Smartschool. Through a connected LMS, teachers can monitor students in real time and synchronize grades. Students can access activities through a web link, LMS, QR code, or short code without logging in to BookWidgets. A free 30-day trial offers unlimited widget creation. Without an active subscription, users cannot create or edit widgets, and LMS integrations stop working.

Sutori is a web-based timeline tool for K–12 history and social studies classrooms. Teachers and learners can build presentations from templates or a blank story, adding text, media, quizzes, and polls. Stories support real-time collaboration, with the creator able to invite unlimited collaborators, and can be converted into PowerPoint presentations. Sutori integrates with Google Classroom and Microsoft 365 and supports LTI-based learning systems including Blackboard, Canvas, D2L, PowerSchool, Moodle, and Schoology. Students entering through an integrated LMS receive accounts automatically. The free Sutori Essential plan costs nothing and permits unlimited presentations, but creation is limited to text and image items. New users get a 30-day Sutori Unlimited trial before moving to the free plan; educators can add 30 days by inviting three fellow educators. Unlimited and Pro subscriptions renew every 365 days. Sutori identifies the service as COPPA- and GDPR-compliant.
