What Achieve for Biology is
Achieve for Biology is a web-based online learning system for university biology courses. It gives instructors course materials and assessments aligned with their goals, while students work through an interactive e-book and adaptive practice. Learning Curve creates individualized question sets from correct and incorrect responses and links questions to the e-book. The e-book supports highlighting, notes, offline access, read-aloud, search, and downloads. Instructors can use formative and summative assignments with varied answer types, hints, error-specific feedback, and worked solutions. Biology courses may include simulations, multimedia, question banks, and in-class activities. A gradebook and dashboard show individual and class progress. iClicker integration includes gradebook synchronization, and the comparison information says iClicker has no additional fee. LMS integration places assignments and grades in the learning system.
