Watch: What is Achieve?

Diagnostics with Personalized Study Plan

Personalized study plans provides instructional resources that target each student's identified growth areas.

Insightful Reports

Instructor reports provide insights into performance by full class, individual students and learning objectives.

Worked Example Videos

Worked example videos created exclusively for IGC from popular YouTube educator, Tyler DeWitt, make chemistry concepts clear and understandable through the effective use of whiteboard videos.

Interactives

In-line interactives simulations provide students with a way to interact with the material in a hands-on way, promoting the idea of learning by doing. Acclaimed PhET Simulations from the University of Colorado, Boulder further encourage quantitative exploration, while addressing specific problem-solving needs.

Homework Problems

Homework problems serve as a front door to learning. Students can either answer a question immediately or study further before answering by clicking on the Resources tab to go directly to the appropriate section in the e-book. Each problem provides help in the form of hints, targeted feedback and detailed solutions to ensure every problem provides learning through practice.

Insight Cards

Insight cards provide quick views of student work in a just-in-time way keeping what is important and current right at the surface! You can drill down for more detailed views to see individual student or whole class performance.

Instructor Activity Guides

The IGC instructor activity guides were built around the Interactive General Chemistry text and interactives. Each activity guide provides at-a-glance metadata to make it easier to prepare and implement. Instructors can pair "preflection" assignments with follow-up reflection supported by pre-built clicker slide decks and/or reinforce student learning with post-activity homework assignments to follow up on the in-class activity. These flexible resources support a variety of teaching styles all emphasizing student engagement.

Interactives & Worksheets

IGC worksheets were designed to work seamlessly with a set of Interactive General Chemistry interactives. The worksheets can be used for in-class or virtual group work or individual work outside of class.

iClicker Integration

Prebuilt iClicker slide desks assist with instruction and help to easily facilitate reflection on activities, allowing instructors to check understanding and get feedback in real time. In addition, iClicker seamlessly integrates into the Achieve gradebook.

The number of instructors using Achieve

The number of students using Achieve

Purposeful usage of Achieve is effective.

Students using more of their courses’ assignments and having higher grades on those assignments, had higher exam scores. Students with higher grades on their assignments (gradebook average) could expect to be 8 points higher on exams. Students that use or engage with less than the median student in each course can expect to perform 4% to 12% lower on their exams (depending on how much less work the student did), while students that use more than the typical, perform 1.5% to 3% higher on their exams.

Moving from -1 to +1 in assignment grade equates to a 8% difference in course exam score as percent correct. The 8% difference in exam scores represents the unique contribution from assignment grade.

88% of students said Achieve was easy to use.

82% of students agreed that Achieve helped them develop, practice, and apply skills associated with their course.

80% of instructors agree that Achieve helped students improve their knowledge of the course material.

Benefits & Features

Content & resources to enhance your teaching.

Every Achieve course is anchored by a BFW e-book and a collection of resources for both teachers and students. Our e-books are fully accessible online or via download, with highlighting, note-taking, and read-aloud functions. Teacher resources are enhanced with the TE-book, pacing guides, handouts, and more. Assigning student resources like flashcards and tutorials is now effortlessly manageable.

Adaptive Quizzing for Personalized Learning

Some Achieve courses include LearningCurve, our adaptive quizzing engine with personalized question sets and clear feedback based on each student’s correct and incorrect answers. LearningCurve offers an easy way for students to prepare for class by reviewing the e-book and then assessing their understanding of the key concepts.

Targeted Feedback to Build Understanding

The Achieve STEM courses include homework assessments that target specific misconceptions or misunderstandings. These formative assessments offer real-time, answer-specific feedback to help students build understanding of complex concepts.

Goal-setting & Reflection Surveys

This metacognitive tool codifies and digitizes strategies already employed by many high school teachers. When assigned, the surveys ask students to set goals for themselves and later reflect on their learning. This gives you insights into student strategies, so you can better provide interventions and support.

Analytics Reveal Insights on Student Performance

Achieve’s Insights and Reporting feature provides powerful but user-friendly analytics at the individual student or whole class level. This elegant dashboard gives you and your administrators a window into student progress so lessons can be specifically tailored to students’ needs.
