Now in Achieve
Achieve is the culmination of years of development work put toward creating the most powerful online learning tool for chemistry students. It houses the lab program’s renowned assessments, multimedia assets, e-lab manual, and instructor resources in a powerful new platform. Achieve supports educators and students throughout the full range of instruction including assets suitable for pre-lab preparation, in-lab e-lab manual, and post-lab assessments. The pairing of a powerful new platform with outstanding biology lab content provides an unrivalled learning experience.

Open Ended Lab Simulations

The open-ended nature of these labs lets students make mistakes and learn from them just like they would in a real wet lab without the worry of wasted chemicals, lab space, or available equipment.
Simulations are designed to improve students conceptual understanding and critical thinking skills.
The workbench includes more than the necessary chemicals and equipment for the pre-created labs. Instructors may wish to customize the existing labs or create their own with the materials available in the virtual lab simulations.

Accessible

Accessibility was prioritized from the start making Macmillan Lab Simulations the most accessible in the market.
Students can access their labs at any time from various devices.

Assessments

Assessments with error-specific hints, feedback, and solutions guide students to conceptual understanding just like instructors would during office hours.
Short answer questions let students demonstrate their understanding of the material.

Smart Worksheets

Smart Worksheets provide students with error-specific feedback as they complete their post-lab calculations. This immediate feedback prevents students from carrying a calculation mistake through the entire post-lab activity.
Smart Worksheets are auto-graded, freeing up TA time to focus on student learning instead of grading.
Smart Worksheets gradebook offers instructors a “play-back” feature that allows instructors to see a video of each student’s work during the assignment.
