Spotlight on Students: Student Tools

[DerekWiebke]

Having the right toolkit and resources allows students to focus on what’s most important: learning. Macmillan Learning’s digital learning platform, Achieve, offers tools for students of different abilities and learning styles, including visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Achieve helps keep students organized by including reading material, assignments, lessons, and quizzes all in one place. Professors can also communicate with students directly in the Achieve platform, making it easier for students to receive updates on deadlines and feedback on assignments. Like Achieve, iClicker is a tool that helps instructors understand where their students may be struggling. iClicker polling activities are a highly effective, yet easy-to-implement way of making courses more engaging, interactive, and beneficial to students.
