What's so special about assignments in Courseware?
Courseware assignments create an “on the rails,” distraction-free online environment where students can move seamlessly through activities.
The 3D models allow students to follow their curiosity and explore anatomy, physiology, and biology, while the instructions and sequence of activities make sure each student stays on task to achieve learning objectives. Students can work at their own pace, and assignments can be used for a variety of purposes, including introducing a topic, homework, and review.
