Dynamic content designed for the way today's students read, think, and learn brings concepts to life. Integrated within the narrative, videos of case studies and other interactive content (e.g. multi-part scenarios, video-based Now You Try It exercises, and Apply It video links with reflective questions) empower students to engage with concepts and modeled skills and take an active role in learning. REVEL's unique presentation of media as an intrinsic part of course content brings the features of this popular title to life. Multiple video examples of each practice skill are embedded throughout, but especially in the practice skills chapters 5, 6, and 7, to allow students instant viewing and practicing of each skill as it is presented and applied. Located throughout REVEL, multiple-choice section quizzes afford students opportunities to check their understanding at regular intervals before moving on. In Chapters 5 through 8, Video Assessment quizzes are multiple choice in format, asking students to select the best item based on video content.


A Chapter Review assessment is also provided. Short-answer application items in the Workbook (presented as the final chapter, not a separate product) provide question prompts that encourage students to reflect on and apply their knowledge with feedback provided to scaffold student learning. The REVEL mobile app lets students read, practice, and study-anywhere, anytime, on any device. Content is available both online and offline, and the app syncs work across all registered devices automatically, giving students great flexibility to toggle between phone, tablet, and laptop as they move through their day. The app also lets students set assignment notifications to stay on top of all due dates. Highlighting, note taking, and a glossary let students read and study however they like. Educators can add notes for students, too, including reminders or study tips. Superior assignability and tracking tools help educators make sure students are completing their reading and understanding core concepts REVEL's assignment calendar allows educators to indicate precisely which readings must be completed on which dates.


This clear, detailed schedule helps students stay on task by eliminating any ambiguity as to which material will be covered during each class. When they understand exactly what is expected of them, students are better motivated to keep up. REVEL's performance dashboard empowers educators to monitor class assignment completion as well as individual student achievement. Actionable information, such as points earned on quizzes and tests and time on task, helps educators intersect with their students in meaningful ways. For example, the trending column reveals whether students' grades are improving or declining, helping educators to identify students who might need help to stay on track. REVEL's Blackboard Learn(tm) integration provides institutions, instructors, and students easy access to their REVEL courses. With single sign-on, students can be ready to access REVEL's interactive blend of authors' narrative, media, and assessment on their first day. Flexible, on-demand grade synchronization capabilities allow educators to control exactly which REVEL grades should be transferred to the Blackboard Gradebook.
