Teaching, learning and research solutions provider Cengage Learning, US, has outlined details of MindApps, a new partner programme designed to support the development of apps and services for the MindTap platform. MindTap, Cengage Learning's new delivery platform for digital products and services, engages students through interactivity while offering instructors choice in content and learning tools.
MindTap claims to be the first in a new category of Personal Learning Experiences. Browser-based and cloud delivered, MindTap is device-agnostic in order to engage students on virtually any platform or device, ensuring complete flexibility and freedom for students, instructors and institutions.
The new MindApps partner programme leverages the powerful, extensible web services framework of the MindTap platform to deliver on Cengage Learning's vision of improving student outcomes through increased engagement. With the framework in place and a robust ecosystem of app partners, MindTap delivers a wide variety of digital learning apps and services that combine Cengage Learning's authoritative content with the technology to improve the teaching and learning experience and build a strong user community.
MindApps are sourced from a broad community of providers, including commercial and non-profit partners, institution- and instructor-provided applications, as well as open community software and content sources. The MindApps partner programme supports the delivery and use of apps to meet specific needs of institutions as well as the instructors and students engaged in the learning experience. Apps may be deployed at the platform level, sold with titles or delivered via a soon to be launched apps marketplace.
Leveraging Cengage Learning's content and strong market presence, MindApp partners have the opportunity to reach new customers and increase their revenue through the newly established Partner Program. Many MindTap learning apps are customisable by title and some can be selected and added to the experience by the instructor, while others can be chosen by the student.
