Engage and Prepare Your Students
Built on scientific principles, with more than a decade of collecting data from billions of questions answered across 90+ disciplines, SmartBook is our adaptive reading tool that empowers you to enhance student engagement and expand their knowledge base.
Students can gain access to SmartBook within Connect, where it works by tailoring content to their unique reading and learning behaviour.
SmartBook prompts readers with questions as they study, and by assessing individual answers, it learns what each student knows and where they are struggling, highlighting topics that require a deeper understanding. It supplies links to additional learning materials, so students can master their key learning objectives. This establishes an optimal study path, ensuring that every minute devoted to studying is as effective as possible.
Read
While students study they are guided by adaptive highlighting to understand where they should spend the most time reading.
Practice
SmartBook presents questions to help identify what content students know and don’t know as they read the material.
Recharge
To activate proficiency and retention, SmartBook directs students to review material likely to be forgotten.
How Do SmartBook Adaptive Questions Work?
Based on various learning science principles such as spacing, chunking, and interleaving, SmartBook generates mini-cycles of questions, each comprising no more than five concepts, to present content in easily digestible "chunks." Here's how each cycle functions:
- It employs questions that vary but share related ideas.
- Once students demonstrate comprehension of a concept, related questions cease to appear.
- If students struggle with a concept, they are likely to encounter repeated questions, thereby minimising guessing and short-term memorisation.
- This unique questioning approach enhances comprehension and long-term retention, distinguishing Connect with SmartBook from other adaptive tools available today.
