Why

Tapping into…the Personal Learning Experience

Demands on instructor's time are many. Students are spread thin. All the research says that technology can be effective, but at times fitting it in can be more of a burden than a utility. Further, current offerings rarely work together. So many devices, so many Learning Management Systems, so many content providers, but none working in harmony.

 

It’s because of this, as a leading partner in education, it is our
duty to help define the next category – the Personal Learning Experience. It picks up where other technology falls short.
With MindTap, learning gets personal.

Simple

Tapping into…Simplicity

Unlike other products that are affiliated with a single Learning Management System (LMS), MindTap will be designed to work with any supported LMS you have access to – or none at all.

 

Further, MindTap is device agnostic, giving students access to their experience anytime, anywhere – on their desktop, laptop, tablet, mobile phone, or even in print.

Interact

Tapping into…Interactivity

Students interact through a personal learning path of readings, assignments, and other curriculum-related learning activities.
Rich with multimedia, this powerful combination of personalized, pedagogical content and on-the-go access encourages interactivity, increases student engagement and improves
learning outcomes.

 

Instructors can also easily incorporate their own content right into the learning path so that they and the students can interact further with more classroom specific collaboration.

Engagement

Tapping into…Engagement

In a recent Cengage Learning / Eduventures study, 86% of students reported that their academic engagement and learning outcomes have improved as they have increasingly used digital tools in their coursework. MindTap provides an engaging learning experience for students by allowing them to interact with the content, as well as their peers, instructors, and even tutors.

 

This is not just about reading chapters. It’s about getting immersed in the experience.

Personal

Tapping into...Personalization

Instructors can also customize the course with MindTap – from tools to text – and make adjustments ‘on the fly,’ making it possible to intertwine breaking news into their lessons and incorporate today’s teachable moments.

 

MindTap also allows educators to incorporate their own content into the learning. They can selectively remove or re-order content to meet the unique needs of their students.

Apps

Tapping into...MindApps

MindTap functions through a library of learning apps called MindApps. Many of these apps are customizable by title – some can be selected and added to the experience by the instructor, others can be chosen by the student. Examples of apps include homework solutions, online tutoring, text-to-speech, plagiarism checking, social media integration, and more.

 

The MindApps program includes a myriad of apps developed by Cengage and our MindApp Partners. If you would like to suggest a future app, please contact us.
