Insight was first published as a data-logging program for the Acorn Archimedes computer in 1992 by Logotron Ltd. At the time it was the culmination of a decade of research by Dr Laurence Rogers at the University of Leicester, developing sensing hardware, curriculum materials and software designs to explore the benefits of computers in practical science.
Since 2011 Insight Resources has developed and published the range of Insight titles spanning data-logging, video analysis, modelling, simulation, control technology and programming. Mr Bit is the most recent addition, dedicated to programming the BBC micro:bit.
