Through a wealth of activities written to learning objectives, it provides students with ample opportunities to check themselves for understanding, while also providing faculty and students alike with a clear way to measure and assess student progress.

The coherent, self-contained and consistent learning path maximizes how the brain learns new information and minimizes distraction for students.

A groundbreaking mobile app experience enables greater flexibility for students to fit learning into their day, wherever they are.

As an instructor, MindTap is here to simplify your workload, organize and immediately grade your students' assignments, and allow you to customize your course as you see fit. Through deep-seated integration with your Learning Management System, grades are easily exported and analytics are pulled with the click of a button. MindTap is available on its own or for use in conjunction with the printed text.
