Achieve Custom


Intermediate Achieve Custom

Intermediate Achieve Customization allows you to seamlessly blend Macmillan Learning materials into your Achieve course, tailoring the content to meet your specific teaching needs. In addition, it provides the flexibility to add selected chapters to Achieve products that aren't tied to a specific book. This customization extends to combining Achieve Lab Simulations with lecture courses within the same discipline, creating a comprehensive learning environment for students. Furthermore, you can enrich your Achieve Essentials courses with iClicker integration, enhancing interactivity and engagement in the classroom.


Moderate Achieve Custom

Moderate Achieve Customization allows you to add full Macmillan Learning ePubs to book-specific Achieve products, incorporate publisher-provided content from another Achieve course — such as assessments, videos, and LearningCurve activities — and modify pre-built LearningCurve activities. You also can include your own authored content as a stand-alone section in readings and offline ePub, as well as integrate your videos with closed captioning.


Advanced Achieve Custom

Advanced Achieve Customization allows you to incorporate a custom ePub with your own authored content and materials, providing students with a unique textbook experience both in readings and offline ePub. You can also combine full e-books or chapters from Macmillan Learning into one custom edition ePub, and you have the option to include trade readings from the Macmillan Author Program into the e-book. For a more interactive learning experience, you can add LearningCurve activities you've personally created.
