Corresponding chapter-by-chapter to Structure & Function of the Human Body, 15th Edition, Elsevier Adaptive Quizzing integrates seamlessly into your course to help students of all skill levels focus their study time and effectively prepare for class, course exams, and the certification exam. Elsevier Adaptive Quizzing is comprised of a bank of high-quality practice questions that allows students to advance at their own pace — based on their performance — through multiple mastery levels for each chapter. A comprehensive dashboard allows students to view their progress and stay motivated. The educator dashboard, grade book, and reporting capabilities enable faculty to monitor the activity of individual students, assess overall class performance, and identify areas of strength and weakness, ultimately helping to achieve improved learning outcomes.

    • UNIQUE! In addition to detailed rationales for each question, select questions include interactive, multimedia resources such as illustrations, animations, videos, audio clips, summary tables, and study tips to engage students with different learning styles and reinforce challenging material.
    • A robust educator dashboard and grade book highlight class scores and levels; usage and performance summaries; areas of strength and weakness tied to each chapter for each student and class; and normative data that educators can use to modify lectures or class activities accordingly.
    • UNIQUE! Elsevier’s trusted, market-leading content serves as the foundation for all questions, which are written, reviewed, and leveled by experienced health professions educators, item writers, and authors. Each question is cross-referenced to a specific chapter and page within Structure & Function of the Human Body, 15th Edition.
    • Alternate item format questions — including multiple-response, fill-in-the-blank, prioritizing, graphic options, chart/exhibit, video, audio, and hot spot — provide valuable certification exam preparation.
    • The engaging, easy-to-use interface ensures that students and educators can navigate through the program with ease.
    • UNIQUE! Unfolding questions become progressively more complex as students advance to higher levels, incorporating concepts such as delegation, multi-system diseases, or complicating conditions to help students strengthen their critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills.
    • Confidence level indicators allow students to indicate their confidence when submitting answers, providing valuable insight into areas where students might be overconfident and require further study.
    • UNIQUE! Students can practice in Study Mode, which provides immediate feedback, or in Exam Mode where the quiz is timed and results are summarized at the end.
    • Multiple mastery levels for each chapter allow students to progress from one level to the next based on individual performance.
    • The comprehensive student dashboard allows each individual to view their personal learning progress with summaries of their strengths, weaknesses, mastery levels, and normative data.
    • UNIQUE! Essential test-taking tips and strategies help students learn how to successfully dissect and tackle different question types and improve test-taking skills for both course exams and the certification examination.
