Summary

What if….

• You could recreate the one-on-one experience of working through difficult concepts in office hours with every one of your students without having to invest any office-hour time to do so?

• You could see at a glance how well each of your students (or sections) was performing in each segment of your course?

• You had all of the assignments and resources for your course pre-organized by learning objective and with point-and-click flexibility?

Over the course of developing A Topical Approach to Lifespan Development, we asked these questions and many more. We did not stop at simply asking questions either. We visited with faculty across the country and also observed you doing what you do to prepare and delivery your courses. We observed students as they worked through assignments and studied for exams. The result of these thousands of hours of research and development is a state of the art learning environment tool that bolsters student performance at the same time as it makes instructor’s lives easier and more efficient.
