Spotlight on Students: The Right Resources

[EllieC]

With the right resources, even a difficult course like Biology–with an overwhelming array of terms, concepts, and diagrams–can be transformed into an engaging and stimulating learning environment. Instructors can introduce students to new concepts with iClicker by conducting polls and then quizzing their students’ retention with quizzes. Students can also be encouraged to work together on in-class worksheets. Achieve then provides students with tailor-made lab materials and simulations that identify students’ learning challenges early on, so that they know which material needs more attention. With online worksheets, students receive immediate feedback, promoting continuous learning and improvement. With iClicker and Achieve, students can feel better supported and set up for success, enabling them to work at their own pace and navigate even the most challenging parts of their course.
