SmartBook

We hear you... most students don't come to class prepared. With SmartBook and its powerful personalised learning experience, you can give students the tools to change that.

What is SmartBook?

Within Connect, your students have access to SmartBook, an adaptive learning and reading tool that personalises content to each student’s unique needs. Because SmartBook creates the ideal study path for each student, every minute they spend studying is the most effective minute possible.

SmartBook highlights the key topics students should focus on, and supplies links to additional learning materials like slideshows, videos and more so they can enhance their understanding of key learning objectives.

How does SmartBook work?

To create a personalised learning experience, SmartBook prompts learners with questions as they study course material. By assessing individual answers, SmartBook learns exactly what each student knows and doesn’t know, identifying topics that require further practise. This adaptive technology creates a personalised learning path and route to success for every student.

Reading

Students read assigned material and are guided to adaptive highlighting that emphasises key topics where they should spend the most time studying.

Practice

As students read the material, SmartBook presents questions to help identify what content they know and don’t know.

Recharge

To ensure mastery and retention, SmartBook directs students to review material they’re likely to forget.

SmartBook

SmartBook builds on our market-leading technology with enhanced capabilities and a streamlined interface that deliver a more usable, accessible and mobile learning experience for both students and instructors.

SmartBook is now available on all mobile smart devices - both online and offline. It enables students to study anywhere and anytime via the ReadAnywhere app. The app allows students to access their readings, highlight, and take notes just as they would within SmartBook. ReadAnywhere syncs across platforms so students never lose their place.

SmartBook's new review feature makes preparing students for critical assessments a breeze. You can now easily create personalised assignments based on the content that each student struggles with.

SmartBook was designed to support learners with visual, auditory, cognitive and mobility needs with improvements in colour contrast, keyboard navigation and screen reader support.

What Educators Think of Connect with SmartBook

"There are several reasons why the SmartBook has been a fantastic learning tool in my modules. The number one reason is that it enables me to assign readings before the lectures, keep track of student progress, and reward those students who come prepared to class. Second, the students prefer it to the regular textbook as the key concepts are highlighted. Last, but not least, it is an environmentally friendly alternative to the printed version of the book."
