VO: Nobody likes doing that. That's why there's...
VO: ...MindTap. VO: MindTap is the digital learning solution
that transforms today's students into critical thinkers. Through personalized paths of dynamic
assignments and applications, MindTap turns cookie cutter into cutting edge, apathy into
engagement, and memorizers into higher-level thinkers.
DIANE MAY: MindTap provides a really unique learning path where the path itself follows
Bloom Taxonomy so the students in the worksheets are getting the knowledge that they need to
have and then through the brief hypotheticals and the videos they are getting a little higher
level thinking, more the comprehension, more the application, and then finally we have
the blueprints where the students are actually using critical analysis to solve problems.
VO: Thanks to MindTap's carefully curated material, you get precise content with groundbreaking
tools and applications you need for every course you teach.

population. VO: With MindTap, Instructors Promote positive
outcomes by tracking students in real time and tailoring your course and lectures as

amazing. I am able to see what students are doing. How much time they're spending. Which
activities they're spending their time in and I see a direct correlation in terms of
the breakdown of grades.
GREG DIXON: When we got the analytics screen and I saw how easy all that stuff was compared
to what I was doing in the past...that was instantaneously obvious to
me a massive time saver. VO: Gone are the days of studying in a dorm
