Overview

MindTap Computing for The Illustrated Collection is the digital learning solution that powers students from memorization to mastery. It gives you complete control of your course—to provide engaging content, to challenge every individual, and to build their confidence. Empower students to accelerate their progress with MindTap. MindTap: Powered by You.

MindTap gives you complete ownership of your content and learning experience.

The Illustrated series takes a skill-based approach that presents tasks one at a time for clear instruction and easy reference. It has efficient coverage of skills and offers the same content as other texts but in fewer modules and pages. This instructional design is complemented by SAM trainings, exams, and projects closely mapped to each module.
