Make the Learning Path your own… Add, Move, Retitle, Hide, Delete, Change Not only are individual instructors able to add their own content to drive engagement and outcomes, but they can also adjust the structure and flow of the learning path and your course. The pencil icon allows them to add, move, retitle, hide, delete, or change the learning path to best reflect the way that they like to teach the course.

Easier, more accurate outcomes reporting Consistency in course content in addition to analytics tools ultimately makes your job of reporting on outcomes easier and certainly more accurate. With MindTap and the Progress App we do the heavy lifting for both the instructors teaching your courses and for the institution – by compiling and visually displaying information on level of engagement as it relates to scores in the course, time in students spent in the course, and the percent of activities accessed which can be reported on at an individual course section or combined to be analyzed across all sections of a given course.

The Progress App helps students stay on track and motivated, getting better grades because of it. The Progress App, while an invaluable tool for instructors, is also accessible to students. Students can monitor their individual grades and engagement, as well as their level of engagement compared to the rest of the class. This not only helps them stay on track in the course but also motivates them to do more and ultimately do better because of it.
