How Will You Customize Your Course?

Customize Macmillan Learning Content

Modify existing materials to better align with your course objectives and students' needs. This option allows you to adapt existing Macmillan Learning content, creating a more focused learning experience in the context of your science course.

Create My Own Content

Embrace the flexibility to create and customize resources based on your own authored content or materials for a truly personalized science course. This option enables you to craft unique course materials tailored to your specific curriculum needs, ensuring a more targeted approach and learning experience.

Customize Your Science Class

Macmillan Learning provides endless customization capabilities for both digital and print resources. Below are a few examples of how you can adapt your science course with us, but our offerings extend beyond what’s listed. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, contact us to learn how we can bring your vision to life.

Combine Labs and Lecture

Combine labs and lecture into one resource. You can write your own labs or lectures, combine your authored work with existing Macmillan resources, or choose to combine several Macmillan content together.

Create Custom Media

Whatever your media needs are, our team can help create illustrations, video content, or any graphic needs for your science course. Help students visualize and understand scientific concepts better through custom videos or artwork illustrated to supplement concepts being learned in class.

Create Data-Driven Smart Worksheets

For STEM instructors wanting to use a custom textbook, we can create custom Smart Worksheets to include in your custom textbook or in other assignments. Our student-entered data worksheets guide students through questions with adaptive hints, real-time checks, and interactive graphing. These auto-graded assignments save instructors time manually reviewing, help students improve their data analysis skills, and deliver timely and consistent grading to students, leading to higher success rates.

Modify Achieve Editable E-books

With Achieve Editable e-books, you can author your own content and edit it whenever you need to – even after publishing it to Achieve. Or, modify the e-book to include interactive elements and assessments to emphasize the course content, such as interactive timeline activities or discussion prompts.

Publish Your Own Textbook

Sometimes off-the-shelf textbooks don’t fit your unique classroom needs. Our custom experts are here to help take your creation and turn it into a professional textbook.

Simulations and Lab Experiments

Develop engaging, online experiments that incorporate virtual simulations or interactive models, enabling students to explore scientific concepts and phenomena in a hands-on manner. Students can conduct lab experiments that might be too dangerous or expensive to execute in-person.

Create Lab Workbooks or Textbooks

Develop lab workbooks or textbooks that can be spiral-bound, printed horizontally or vertically, and formatted to encourage note-taking.

Pocket Lab Safety Guide

Create a portable guide outlining laboratory safety rules, equipment usage, and emergency procedures, ensuring students are well-prepared for hands-on experiments. Our team can customize this guide to a format that fits your needs, such as handbooks, booklets, workbooks, or more.
