- LearnSmart (STUDY), which has been nominated for 2012 SIIA CODIE Awards in Best Cross-Curricular Solution, and Best Postsecondary Instructional Solution, is an adaptive learning system to help students learn faster, study more efficiently, and retain more knowledge for greater success. It pinpoints concepts the student does not understand and maps out a personalized study plan for success. Based on students’ self-diagnoses of their proficiency, LearnSmart intelligently provides students with a series of adaptive questions. This provides students with a personalized one-on-one tutor experience. Instructors have access to reports that highlight progress and areas for additional reinforcement for students as well as an at-a-glance view into students’ strengths and weaknesses
- Interactive Applications (ASSESS) for each chapter of the textbook that allow students to practice real business situations, stimulate critical thinking, and reinforce key concepts. Students receive immediate feedback and can track their progress in their own report. Detailed results let instructors see at a glance how each student performs and easily track the progress of every student in their course. In addition to the interactive questions, Bateman’s M:Management will have language toolkits including key terms and chapter quizzes (15-25 questions per chapter)
- Manager’s Hot Seat Online! Now instructors can put students in the hot seat with access to an interactive program. Students are given an introduction to the situation, view a dossier of related management materials, and then watch 15 real managers apply their years of experience when confronting unscripted issues. As the scenario unfolds, questions about how the manager is handling the situation pop up, forcing the student to make decisions along with the manager. At the end of the scenario, students watch a post-interview with the manager, view how their responses matched up to the manager’s decisions, and then submit a report critiquing the manager’s choices while defending their own. Access to this online program is provided as part of Connect access for this text
