Cannot access an on-campus lab? Connect Virtual Labs is a fully online lab solution that can replace, prepare, supplement, or make labs to bridge the gap between lab and lecture.

These lab simulations help students learn the practical and conceptual skills needed to understand the lab environment. In addition, students can check their understanding of the tasks and receive instant feedback. As instructors, you can fully personalise each assignment your students are allocated, thanks to adaptive pre-lab and post-lab assessment questions.

With LearnSmart Prep® for Biology, you can identify student knowledge gaps before the semester even begins with proven adaptive learning technology. This advanced, unique technology ensures that students enter their course completely prepared. For instructors, this technology provides an at-a-glance view of the class’s overall strengths and weaknesses and ensures that all students are ready to engage in university on day one!

Students can see how biology fits into everyday life with new Relevancy Modules within Connect®.

Within each module, they will have access to videos and basic scientific concepts. They will be able to see exactly how the application of these concepts are relevant to specific biological topics and reflect current world events.

Within all eight modules, students will have access to auto-graded assessment questions.

Also, students and instructors can access the new Relevancy Modules eBook at no additional cost!

BioNow Videos provide an entertaining way to directly bring science lessons from the real world to the student.

Each concept-based video walks students through simple experiments to show them how science is found everywhere, it brings the class to life! Instructors who assign these videos have reported that their students are more engaged and curious about science.

Each video has over 20 questions that can be allocated or assessed before or after every lecture.

Used to supplement your teaching materials, you can select from multiple end-of-chapter Animations & Tutorials within Connect® aimed to help students grasp challenging concepts in the text.

You can allocate these exercises one-on-one or during class and have a much better understanding of where your students may be struggling.
