Reviews
Being able to customize MindTap makes it perfect for us and gives students the tools they need to succeed. I think overall it definitely helps boost student success. One of the best features is the single sign-on through Blackboard. The entire course is in Blackboard with links to MindTap. Students no longer have to go to two different places. One location. One sign-on. Grades are pulled right into the gradebook in Blackboard. I was awed because so many of my students earned an 'A' or 'A-' on the final exam. And students gave the MindTap intro class higher ratings than they gave my traditional intro class. I'm convinced that the higher course ratings and grades were, in large part, a result of students' engagement. MindTap makes the course as hands-on as any online course could possibly be. Students only have to have a web browser and an internet connection--everything is provided in the course. They don't need hardware or software. There is a clear connection between those who are doing very well in the class and those who are enrolled in MindTap. They are paying better attention to deadlines and planning better for their semester. Those using MindTap regularly are definitely more engaged.
