Whether a student’s learning path starts with problem solving or with reading, Interactive General Chemistry delivers the learning experience he or she needs to succeed in general chemistry. Built from the ground up as a digital learning program, Interactive General Chemistry combines the Sapling Learning homework platform with a robust e-book with seamlessly embedded, multimedia-rich learning resources. This flexible learning environment helps students effectively and efficiently tackle chemistry concepts and problem solving.
Student-centered development
In addition to Macmillan's standard rigorous peer review process, student involvement was critical to the development and design of Interactive General Chemistry. Using extensive research on student study behavior and data collection on the resources and tools that most effectively promote understanding, we crafted this complete course solution to intentionally embrace the way that students learn.Digital-first experience
Interactive General Chemistry was built from the ground up to take full advantage of the digital learning environment. High-quality multimedia resources—including Sapling interactives, PhET simulations, and new whiteboard videos by Tyler DeWitt—are seamlessly integrated into a streamlined, uncluttered e-book. Embedded links provide easy and efficient navigation, enabling students to link to review material and definitions as needed.Problems drive purposeful study
Our research into students' study behavior showed that students learn best by doing—so with Interactive General Chemistry, homework problems are designed to be a front door for learning. Expanding upon the acclaimed Sapling homework—where every problem contains hints, targeted feedback, and detailed step-by-step solutions—embedded resources link problems directly to the multimedia-rich e-book, providing just-in-time support at the section and chapter level.
Meeting Students where they are.
Chemistry for the way students learn.

Chapter Summary:
Seamlessly Embedded Multimedia Assets:
Utilizing student feedback to curate and create the most effective multimedia resources to help promote understanding. These assets are integrated throughout the e-book to provide a more visual and interactive learning experience to keep student’s focused and engaged in the content.
Video Examples from master teacher and popular YouTube video author Tyler DeWitt make chemistry concepts clear and understandable through the effective use of whiteboard videos. At least one whiteboard video example is included per section in Interactive General Chemistry.
Embedded Interactive Simulations
Created by Sapling provide students with a way to interact with the material, promoting the idea of learning by doing.
PhET Simulations from the University of Colorado at Boulder help students gain a visual understanding of concepts. Corresponding Sapling tutorial questions further encourage this quantitative exploration, while addressing specific problem-solving needs.
Animations and Videos help students visualize the molecular world, illustrate difficult concepts, and present live representations of lab activities.
Practice Problems throughout Interactive General Chemistry simulate the Sapling experience with hints and detailed solutions hidden until needed, encouraging students to first attempt the problem before looking up the answer.
A Flexible Learning Experience
Interactive General Chemistry ensures that homework problems serve as a front door to a true student learning experience. Students can either answer a question immediately or study further before answering.
The new Resources tab directs students to material in the multimedia-rich e-book that will help them solve the problem. Each problem also offers Sapling’s hallmark hints, targeted feedback, and detailed solutions.
Answer straight away.
Students can begin to solve problems immediately and take advantage of the hints, targeted feedback, and detailed solutions.
Hints
Clues attached to every problem encourage critical thinking by providing suggestions for completing the problem, without giving away the answer.
Targeted feedback
When a student selects or inputs an incorrect answer they receive targeted feedback or can choose to give up and see a detailed step-by-step solution.
Detailed solutions
Fully worked solutions reinforce concepts and provide an in-product study guide for every problem in the Sapling Learning system.
Study further, then answer.
If students are unsure about an answer, they can explore the underlying concept of the problem further, taking advantage of the Resources tab in addition to Sapling Learning’s signature hints, feedback, and solutions.
Resources
The Resources tab takes students directly to the place in the e-book they need to study to be able to solve the problem. Embedded multimedia resources contribute to just-in-time learning.
LearningCurve
General Chemistry Readiness
General Chemistry Readiness serves up a diagnostic practice test to identify each individual student's level of preparedness for general chemistry. A student's performance on the diagnostic test generates a personalized student plan to help him or her acquire the foundational skills he or she needs to succeed in general chemistry. Students see progress bars as they work through core math topics, problem-solving skills, and basic chemistry content, building a sense of accomplishment. Both students and instructors can view analytics after a final post-test, empowering students to target specific areas for continued practice and giving instructors an at-a-glance class view of student preparedness.
