Fair comparison
PhET and QLM solve different parts of the learning problem.
PhET is widely used for interactive science and math exploration. It is strong for conceptual play, teacher-led activities, and open-ended inquiry.
QLM focuses on evidence capture: predictions, decisions, explanations, misconceptions, and TeacherOS intervention signals.
