Achieve More with General, Organic, Biological Chemistry Lab Simulations 2.0

Achieve’s open-ended GOB lab simulations provide students with 24-hour access to realistic virtual labs. Students complete labs on their own time in a relaxed setting, and can make and learn from mistakes without the worry of wasting chemicals, time constraints, or lab equipment. 

Assessments with error-specific hints, feedback, and solutions provide students just-in-time help when they need it, regardless of when they complete their lab. The enhanced reporting features in Achieve’s gradebook help instructors identify areas where students are struggling, then provide targeted instruction/intervention, improving course retention and pass/fail rates.

Prioritizing accessibility during the product development means that accessibility isn’t just an “extra.” Macmillan Biology Lab Simulations are the most accessible in the market ensuring all students have an equal opportunity to succeed.

Features

Achieve
Achieve is the culmination of years of development work put toward creating the most powerful online learning tool for chemistry students. It houses the lab program’s renowned assessments, multimedia assets, e-lab manual, and instructor resources in a powerful new platform. Achieve supports educators and students throughout the full range of instruction including assets suitable for pre-lab preparation, in-lab e-lab manual, and post-lab assessments. The pairing of a powerful new platform with outstanding biology lab content provides an unrivalled learning experience.

Open Ended Lab Simulations

  • The open-ended nature of these labs lets students to make mistakes and learn just like they would in a real wet lab without the worry of wasted chemicals, lab space, or available equipment.
  • The workbench includes more than the necessary chemicals and equipment for the pre-created labs. Instructors may wish to customize the existing labs or create their own with the materials available in the virtual lab simulations.

Accessible

  • Accessibility was prioritized from the start making Macmillan Lab Simulations the most accessible in the market.
  • Students can access their labs at any time from various devices.

Assessments

  • Assessments with error-specific hints, feedback, and solutions guide students to conceptual understanding just like instructors would during office hours.
  • Short answer questions let students demonstrate their understanding of the material.

Smart Worksheets

  • Smart Worksheets provide students with error-specific feedback as they complete their post-lab calculations. This immediate feedback prevents students from carrying a calculation mistake through the entire post-lab activity.
  • Smart Worksheets are auto-graded, freeing up TA time to focus on student learning instead of grading.
  • Smart Worksheets gradebook offers instructors a “play-back” feature that allows instructors to see a video of each student’s work during the assignment.
