Achieve More with Biology Lab Simulations  2.0

Achieve’s open-ended biology lab simulations provide students with 24-hour access to realistic virtual labs. Students complete labs on their own time in a relaxed setting, and can make and learn from mistakes without the worry of wasting chemicals, time constraints, or lab equipment. 

Assessments with error-specific hints, feedback, and solutions provide students just-in-time help when they need it, regardless of when they complete their lab. The enhanced reporting features in Achieve’s gradebook help instructors identify areas where students are struggling, then provide targeted instruction/intervention, improving course retention and pass/fail rates.

Prioritizing accessibility during the product development means that accessibility isn’t just an “extra.” Macmillan Biology Lab Simulations are the most accessible in the market ensuring all students have an equal opportunity to succeed.
