Frequently, you and your students need to understand how well they're learning course concepts and material.
- You want to focus your teaching effectively.
- They want to focus their study time on what they don't know.
Learning Catalytics is a sophisticated classroom assessment system that helps students become more actively engaged in learning.
With Learning Catalytics, you can
- Assess student knowledge on the fly in class, with quizzes or interactive worksheets. Students answer questions using their own Web-enabled device. You see their answers in real time on an instructor console. You can address their misconceptions immediately.
- Assess student knowledge before class so you can focus your teaching in class.
- Let students answer in teams as well as independently. When students work peer-to-peer, they articulate their reasoning and improve their knowledge.
Learning Catalytics questions are available for many disciplines, from both Pearson and the wider academic community. You can add your own questions.
Learning Catalytics is included with your MyLab or Mastering eTextbook. If any students choose not to purchase the eTextbook, they're prompted to purchase Learning Catalytics at the beginning of their first session.
Instructors (and section instructors with permission) do not have to purchase access.
