Cengage Learning will be highlighting its expanded institutional offerings at EDUCAUSE 2015 in Indianapolis, including the company's student-centric mobile products and the recent acquisition of the education technology company Learning Objects.
This year's theme—Recharge with Cengage Learning—focuses on best practices in implementing education technology and student involvement. Chief Technology Officer George Moore will speak to data-driven decision-making, with booth demos of the recently-launched MindTap Mobile and 4LTR Press Online. In addition, Learning Objects General Manager Derek Hamner and Chief Learning Officer Dr. Jon Mott will discuss how the company provides customizable learning solutions for institutions and publishing partners.
Cengage Learning continues to expand its institutional offerings from course solutions to a full-service online program experience. Last month, the company announced the acquisition of Learning Objects, which powers innovative, customised and adaptive learning programs and courses to higher education institutions through its state-of-the-art, content-agnostic next generation digital learning environment and instructional design services. With Learning Objects, institutions are able to quickly create both competency-based and traditional online programs and courses integrating publisher content, open educational resources, faculty content and other ed tech vendors' tools. Learning Objects continues to serve as a preferred technology partner for publishers seeking new and innovative content delivery solutions.
Cengage Learning is committed to providing student end-users with personalised education experiences that engage and prime them for success. Through the use of extensive research and student feedback, the company creates learning solutions that increase student success rates and enable them to take an active role in their learning.
Cengage Learning's award-winning MindTap is a course-based digital learning environment that integrates reading, homework, quizzing, multi-media assets and more into an engaging, pedagogically sound learning experience for students. Recent efficacy studies conducted by independent research firms found that students using the MindTap digital learning solution achieved significantly higher grades across a number of disciplines.
MindTap Mobile, compatible with iOS and Android, helps on-the-go students stay organised, optimise small pockets of study time and interact directly with their instructor. This elevated connectivity allows for improved student workflow, greater customisation and more visibility into individual progress. MindTap Mobile was developed based on direct feedback from students about what they want and need to be successful in their courses outside of the classroom. Thousands of students were surveyed to provide input on what would be most useful in a mobile app.
4LTR Press Online is a fully mobile and responsive digital learning solution built around students' “learnflow” – the workflow behind learning. Developed with extensive student research, 4LTR Press Online uses a two-pathway approach to learning that includes the pedagogy of a printed textbook and the concept mapping and functionality of an Internet search engine. 4LTR Press Online was designed to ensure that students are always aware of their place within the text, and intuitively navigate to the content they need.
