Now Supported in Achieve
Achieve supports educators and students throughout the full flexible range of instruction, including resources to support learning of core concepts, visualization, problem-solving and assessment. Powerful analytics and instructor support resources in Achieve pair with exceptional Introductory Chemistry content provides an unrivaled learning experience.
Features of Achieve include:
- A design guided by learning science research. Co-designed through extensive collaboration and testing by both students and faculty including two levels of Institutional Review Board approval for every study of Achieve
- An interactive e-book with embedded multimedia and features for highlighting, note=taking and accessibility support
- A flexible suite of resources to support learning core concepts, visualization, problem-solving and assessment.
- A detailed gradebook with insights for just-in-time teaching and reporting on student and full class achievement by learning objective.
- Easy integration and gradebook sync with iClicker classroom engagement solutions.
- Simple integration with your campus LMS and availability through Inclusive Access programs.
New media and assessment features in Achieve include:
- New Capstone Questions integrate concepts from each chapter and between several chapters to reinforce understanding of content and practice general problem-solving strategies. In a video that appears in the eBook, Kevin walks students through these strategies, preparing them to solve similar problems on their own.
- Guided Practice provides no/low-stakes practice for the most difficult problem-solving concepts in general chemistry. These interactives guide students step-by-step through unit conversions, rearranging equations, balancing charges, and stoichiometry problems, building skills and confidence. When assigned through Achieve, follow-up questions (with feedback) reinforce what theyve learned.
- Quick Recall interactives focus students on drilling the information in chemistry that they must memorize to achieve success, such as identifying ionic charges.
- LearningCurve Adaptive Quizzing assignments serve up low Blooms level problems to solidify students grasp on core concepts. The adaptive, game-like learning tool guides students by providing extra practice where they need it and connects directly to the e-book.
- Three NEW atomic view interactives enhance visualization of molecular concepts by allowing students to zoom into everyday settings to see the underlying chemical structures of common substances.
- Digital assets are an extension of the author’s voice and vision.
Focusing on foundational concepts
- Lecture videos. All content from the written text is also presented in videos created by Kevin, so instructors can easily implement active learning in the class and students can watch videos along with or in lieu of reading.
- Quick Recall Interactives focus students on drilling the information in chemistry that they must memorize to achieve success, such as identifying ionic charges.
- LearningCurve assignments serve up low Blooms level problems to solidify students grasp on core concepts. The adaptive, game-like learning tool guides students by providing extra practice where they need it
Focusing on visualization
- Digital interactives allow students to explore chemistry concepts such as the interactions between two elements. Built-in guidance helps them recognize patterns and draw conclusions from the experience.
- The e-book also contains conceptual animations and reaction videos. All of these assets are also used as visual resources in assessment questions.
- Three NEW atomic view interactives enhance visualization of molecular concepts by allowing students to zoom into everyday settings to see the underlying chemical structures of common substances.
- Blue “Explore” boxes in the print margin identify a variety of media: animations, videos, (guided inquiry) interactives, and atomic view interactives that enhance whatever figure or other content is in print.
Focusing on Problem-Solving Skills and Practice
- New Guided Practice Interactives offer no/low-stakes practice for the most difficult problem-solving concepts in introductory chemistry. These interactives guide students step-by-step through unit conversions, rearranging equations, balancing charges, and stoichiometry problems, building skills and confidence. When assigned through Achieve, follow-up questions (with feedback) reinforce what theyve learned.
- Problem-solving videos for every in-text problem in the e-book.
- Extensive problem library, including selected problems from Revell’s end of chapter questions with hints, targeted feedback, and detailed solutions for all study questions to ensure student learning.
- New Capstone Questions integrate concepts from each chapter and between several chapters to reinforce understanding of content and practice general problem-solving strategies. In a video that appears in the eBook, Kevin walks students through these strategies, preparing them to solve similar problems on their own.
Unrivaled Instructor Support Package (created by author, Kevin Revel)
Support your lecture, online or in class
