SAM, an engaging and interactive online learning environment, helps students master Microsoft Office and computer concepts essential to academic and career success. Students observe, practise, then apply their new skills live in the application. The best part is, it’s working! In a survey of students using the platform, 73% felt SAM better prepared them for interacting in the Microsoft Office environment. And the benefits don’t just stop at students. Instructors save time and energy with auto-graded assignments and flexible reporting tools.
Real-world experience enables students to understand how software works. Simulations in SAM accommodate multiple learning styles, so students learn Microsoft Office and computer concepts inside and out. To inform mastery, students complete live projects, then submit in SAM for automatic feedback.
Learn what’s broken, so you can fix it! SAM tracking and reporting pinpoints areas needing extra attention, so you can get the full progress picture. In addition to gradebook insights, SAM reporting options analyse performance at the student or section level, while exam playback highlights precisely where students went wrong.
Courseware can energise your classroom when it’s implemented effectively. The easy-to-use SAM interface gets you and your students up and running fast. Customised assignments that map to each book’s specific learning objectives streamline course set-up, while the ability to copy sections from one term to the next and roll out master courses to other instructors saves valuable teaching time.
With a full, interactive eBook – readable online or off – study tools that empower anytime, anywhere learning and 24/7 course access, the Cengage Mobile app keeps students focused and ready to study whenever it’s convenient for them.
