Now in Achieve
Achieve is the culmination of years of development work put toward creating the most powerful online learning tool for microbiology students. It houses our 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 microbiology lab content provides an unrivalled learning experience.

Pre-Lab
Students complete assignments (including reading, videos, and assessments with error-specific feedback) ahead of class time, ensuring that they come to the lab prepared. With this, students make fewer mistakes and practice proper safety, both critical to success in the microbiology lab.

During Lab
Integration with iClicker allows instructors to take attendance and quiz students before the lab starts about safety requirements, proper techniques, and more.

Labs include a complete, accessible, and mobile-friendly, laboratory manual for an in-person wet lab. Students complete their lab activity, record their data and observations during the lab.

Post-Lab
Post-lab assessments provide immediate error-specific feedback, allowing students to see their mistakes in real time instead of waiting for their reports to be returned after grading.

Smart Worksheets (data analysis activities) support students with error- specific feedback, reducing the number of mistakes students make in their post-lab assignment. This relieves TAs of a heavy grading load and allows students to immediately see their results.

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.
