SmartBook

Available within Connect, SmartBook actively tailors content to the individual student- The more a student interacts with SmartBook, the better it gets to know what they know and what they don’t know, helping students to maximize study time. By providing students with a safe place to make mistakes, showing them the areas they need to work on most, and by giving them consistent, personalized feedback at the exact moment they need it, SmartBook helps them to bridge their knowledge gaps and come to class prepared.

Health Video Series

Original documentary-style videos feature topics like tanning, tattooing, partner violence, stress, and DUIs. Both students and industry professionals appear in each video, discussing their opinions and research. These are assignable and also serve as great discussion-starters in class.

Interactive Lab Activities

By completing labs that focus on a variety of fitness and wellness topics, students are provided with a well-rounded understanding of how to make positive behavior changes and get instant feedback about their current level of wellness. Students can then use this feedback to create their own individualized programs for improvement.
