The learning goals we have for students determines our assignments before, during and after
class. For example, you may want to focus on mastering content, applying content, or using
content to solve problems. Alternatively, you may want to achieve all three goals.
Connect® offers a host of additional pre-class assignments to choose from if your goal is
mastery of content. They include SmartBook 2.0, Click and Drag Exercises, iSeeIt! Animated
Videos, Self-Assessments, Case Analyses, Video Cases, Example and Practical Action Boxes,
Management in Action Cases, Legal/Ethical Challenge Cases, Uber Continuing Case, and
Manager’s Hot Seat Videos. Case Analyses, Click and Drag Exercises, and Video Cases are
optimal exercises to be utilized prior to class, as they provide students the opportunity to practice
and apply key course concepts.
A reading assignment—typically a chapter from the product in use—is a student’s initial
exposure to course content. Requiring students to complete a SmartBook 2.0 module either prior
to class or an online lecture allows you to gauge their comprehension of the material. Having a
better sense before class of which concepts your students are “getting” and which ones they are
not, allows you to more effectively and efficiently plan your time with them during class. To
ascertain student competency, use the reporting function of SmartBook 2.0, where you can view
general results of their performance.
During Class
The TRM offers a host of additional materials and experiential activities you can use to bring
chapter content to life.
