It gives you complete control of your course to provide engaging content, challenge every individual and build their confidence. We've updated our MindTap content and introduced a new feature, Listen and React, which challenges students to listen to an audio-based scenario, think critically about it and craft a written response. MindTap is the digital learning solution that powers students' mastery of key concepts while engaging them with video cases, career scenarios, visual summaries and more. Empower students to accelerate their progress with MindTap. MindTap: Powered by You.
We’ve built the MindTap learning path for the 14th edition to get students to interact with and think about each chapter’s topic. After reading the chapter, they’ll see video content related to the chapter and take a short quiz to make sure they got the video’s message.
They’ll then complete a “You Decide” activity, where they’ll read about a chapter-related situation and answer questions that will take them through several potential branches of how their answers might play out.
Our new “Listen and React” follows. Here, learners think critically as they respond to a prompt following an authentic audio clip based on key chapter concepts.
Each chapter is capped off with a Chapter Quiz, ensuring that the student has grasped each chapter’s learning objective.
