What this partnership means for students


Deeper engagement

Intentional highlighting enables quick and easy opportunities for students to react to materials and share insights with peers. Seeing how classmates are reacting to learning material drives critical thinking and community.


Easier access

Learners today require access to material in a way that fits their lives, whether commuting to and from a job, managing childcare, or on work breaks. Students easily access the textbook, materials, and activities on a mobile-first platform available on iOS, Android and the web.

Students are 3 times more engaged when they learn collectively.

We tracked students' engagement during two types of asynchronous learning sessions: in the first they were able to observe how their classmates were reacting to their learning material, and in the second they had no visibility of their peers. We found that students were 3x more engaged when they were able to learn collectively alongside their classmates in virtual sessions.
