Adaptive Learning Assignment
Adaptive Learning Assignment in Connect provides your students with a learning experience that adapts to the unique needs of each learner through ongoing formative assessments, feedback and learning resources for topics tied directly to course outcomes. We’ve created a secure space for learning that balances intentional rigor with the freedom to allow students to make mistakes and learn from them without being penalized.
Power of Process
Power of Process helps improve students' critical thinking skills by guiding them through the reading process. Students respond to strategies through written responses or highlight and annotate directly within the text. Power of Process offers 100 preloaded readings for you to choose from.
A minimum of 50% of readings were written by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) authors. Includes option for instructors and students to upload readings as well.
Writing Assignment
Writing Assignment delivers a learning experience that helps students improve their written communication skills and conceptual understanding. Faculty can assign, monitor, grade, and provide feedback on writing projects efficiently. Built-in grammar and writing review help students improve writing quality, while an originality check helps students correct potential plagiarism before submission. Peer Review allows students to make suggestions and learn from their peers.
SmartBook
Available within Connect, SmartBook 2.0 personalizes learning to individual student needs, continually adapting to pinpoint knowledge gaps and focus learning on concepts requiring additional study. For instructors, SmartBook tracks student progress and provides insights that guide teaching strategies and advanced instruction, for a more dynamic class experience.
