HOW CAN SMARTBOOK® ENHANCE MY STUDENTS’
PERFORMANCE?
SmartBook® is assignable through Connect®, McGraw Hill‘s online assignment and assessment system.
One of the first fully adaptive and individualized study tools designed for students, it creates a
personalized learning experience, giving students the opportunity to practice and challenge their
understanding of core strategy concepts. The reporting tools within SmartBook® show where students
are struggling to understand specific concepts.
Typically, SmartBook® is assigned by module (chapter), and instructors can set which learning
objectives to cover as well as the number of probes the student will see for each assignment. Instructors
also set the number of points a SmartBook® module is worth in the course. Usually, applying a minimal
number of points for completion of each module is enough to encourage students to read the chapter.
Many instructors assign these modules to be completed before the class or online session.
SmartBook® provides several diagnostic tools for instructors to gauge which concepts their students
struggle to understand. Below is the set of adaptive assignment reports available in SmartBook®:
▪ Progress Overview: View student progress broken down by module.
▪ Student Details: View student progress details plus completion level breakdown for each
module.
▪ Module Details: View information on how your class performed on each section of their
assigned modules.
▪ Practice Quiz: This gives you a quick overview of your students‘ quizzes results.
▪ Missed Questions
▪ Metacognitive Skills
By selecting ―Module Details‖ the instructor finds the results for the students in the class overall. These
details reveal where in the chapters students might be struggling. The module gives the chapter section,
average time spent, average questions per student correct/total, and the percentage of correctness
(number of assigned items). Information about the most challenging sections for students can help
instructors refine the focus of the next classroom or online session.
