Analytics
Assignment reports give you granular information about your students' interaction with assignments set through Connect, including how much time students have spent engaging and which concepts your class may be struggling with. All of this data is available at an aggregated or individual level so you can gain deeper insight into students who seem to be struggling and take remedial action. Crucially students also have access to their own data to help them manage their own learning and create informed study plans.

Prepare students for the real world with Application-Based Activities (ABA) in Connect. These highly interactive, assignable exercises allow students to apply their knowledge to realistic scenarios in role-playing and lab simulations across the fields of psychological study. Each ABA involves the application of multiple concepts, providing the ability to synthesize information and use critical-thinking skills to solve realistic scenarios.With nearly 100 activities, covering topics from ethics to classical conditioning to common psychopathological disorders, there’s a wide variety to select from.
