You and your students have access
to LearningCurve!
Assign LearningCurve and watch your class excel. LearningCurve ensures
your students do the reading and offers you reports on how well your class and
individual students understand the topics. With LearningCurve, your students come
to class better prepared, and you can adjust class time to focus on difficult material
and help students achieve greater success.
How it works. LearningCurve is a game-like adaptive learning tool informed by
research in psychology. LearningCurve promotes retrieval practice through its unique
delivery of questions and point system. Students with a firm grasp of the material
get plenty of practice but proceed through the activity relatively quickly. Unprepared
students are given more questions so they can learn from answer feedback
and practice more. Because the activities can be assigned in weekly intervals,
LearningCurve helps students retain the information far better than last-minute
cramming.
To learn more about how LearningCurve works and watch a demo, visit

“By requiring LearningCurve, I know that students have reviewed the
material before class, which makes for more lively discussion.”
— Beth Kontos, North Shore Community College

The Sources of Country Music
In painting this vibrant work, artist Thomas Hart Benton captured many of the forces
that shaped America. A preacher and hymn singers emphasize the importance of
religious faith to both women and men. Fiddle players—with a decidedly less sacred
outlook—keep a jug of whiskey on hand. A man playing the African-derived banjo
represents the profound influence of African Americans on the nation’s culture. In the
background, a steamboat and locomotive show the transformative role of technology
and economic change.
