YOUR COURSE. YOUR CONTENT. Only MindTap gives you complete control over your course. You have the flexibility to reorder textbook chapters, add your own notes, and embed a variety of content including OER. Personalize course content to your students’ needs. They can even read your notes, add their own, and highlight key text to aid their progress.
A DEDICATED TEAM, WHENEVER YOU NEED THEM. MindTap isn’t just a tool, it’s backed by a personalized team eager to support you. We help you set up your course and tailor it to your specific objectives, so you’ll be ready to make an impact from day one. And we’ll be standing by to help you and your students until the final day of the term.
Interactive Self-Assessments help students engage students by helping them make personal connections to the content presented in the chapter. Students are able to see how their responses compare to others (anonymously) in their class, school and across the country.
The chapter content serves as a foundation and reference source for the course. Concept Checks are short, automatically graded assessments that appear in-line in the reader and allow students to check their understanding of key concepts one section at a time before moving on. These concept-based questions also allow you to ensure students are familiar with those concepts before coming to class so you can go further with the time you have. There are also valuable study tools like highlighting, note taking, dictionary, flashcards, a text-to-speech tool, and more.
Chapter Video: Highlighting relevant companies, these videos and their corresponding activities help students solidify core chapter concepts by tying chapter themes or topics to real-world examples.
Chapter Homework: These pre-built assignments include scenario-based questions assessing comprehensive understanding of the entire chapter. These are automatically graded and include rejoinder feedback for right and wrong answers.
“In the News”: At the end of the full learning path are chapter-specific, current articles written by marketing instructors that automatically feed/flow in to the learning path throughout the semester. These current events help students relate to concepts and see them applied in the real world while saving instructors time spent seeking out articles that apply to specific concepts.
Three Online Appendices: Appendices provide in-depth exploration into the “Financial Analysis in Marketing”, a “Sample Marketing Plan”, and “Careers in Marketing.”
You Make the Decision: Students are put in the shoes of a marketer in these interactive, media-rich activities. Following a scenario related to course content covered so far, students are presented with decision points as they progress through this interactive activity. Every decision a student makes impacts the outcome of the scenario, creating a unique marketing experience for each student. Appearing at the beginning of each part, these activities act as a summative opportunity, ultimately aiding students in connecting concepts from multiple lessons.
Adaptive Test Prep: Students often experience high anxiety around exams, and many of their study tools are at the chapter level. By covering multiple chapters and including questions similar to those they’ll see on an exam, students can use Adaptive Test Prep to prepare more efficiently, review areas requiring additional study, and be more confident about exam performance.
Marketing Plan Assignments: These flexible, modular assignments allow you to assign a complete marketing plan in stages – or pick only specific sections to assign. Featuring fill-in-the-blank response fields for quick review of student-provided information and corresponding templates for students to complete and upload, these assignments present a flexible, course-integrated way to give students experience thinking through and building out a marketing plan.
