LearningCurve Activities

Our game-like adaptive quizzing is available for every chapter/section of the text. Based on research on
learning LearningCurve encourages students to actively participate in their learning and provides
immediate feedback and reinforcement. LearningCurve questions are tagged directly to the text
providing a tight integration with the material and both quality and quantity that truly distinguishes
LearningCurve from the rest.

Because LearningCurve is a formative assessment and graded on completion many instructors have
found that these quizzes are a perfect pre-lecture assignment that aids them in making the classroom
more active, or flipped. LearningCurve is equally effective when used as a review element post-lecture.
By making LearningCurve a small percentage of the overall grade instructors have found students come
to class having regularly read and more prepared to apply the concepts to their learning.
