Feature Summary
The dynamic adaptive questioning diagnostic (LearnSmart) quickly shows students they are not likely to perform as well as they would like--or as previous performance might predict--if they are only "reading" the text to memorize key terms, facts, and people. Applied and conceptual items are included in this diagnostic system, along with purely factual questions to ensure students are prepared to perform to your expectations before the reckoning of the first big exam. Students who use the adaptive diagnostic tool are seeing their grades improve by a letter grade or more. At-a-glance visual reporting allows you to quickly identify students who are struggling or even entire sections that might be lagging.
