What is SmartBook?
For over a decade, we’ve collected data on billions of questions answered by students in 90+ disciplines, giving us a lot of insight on how adaptive learning impacts a student’s performance.
The result? A constant evolution of Connect’s SmartBook. In SmartBook, we’ve created a safe space for learning to help build student confidence. In this environment, learners can develop self-awareness with immediate and meaningful feedback that helps guide their path to success.
Help students learn more, remember more, & ask better questions
SmartBook makes it easy to deploy assignments before class, quizzes and exams to prepare students and set them up for success.
Granular Control

New Assignments
Establish a foundation before classes by assigning new chapters and concepts to students so they arrive ready to learn.
Review Assignments

Build confidence with personalized study paths
Reading that reinforces
SmartBook creates cycles of questions that focus on no more than five concepts at a time. Rooted in learning science principles like spacing, chunking and interleaving, this approach makes it easier for students to read and retain new content.
- Students are presented with different questions with related ideas
- Once a student demonstrates understanding of a concept, they no longer see related questions
- Should students continue to struggle with a concept, they are more likely to see repeated questions to limit guessing and rote memorization
SmartBook's unique questioning approach improves comprehension and retention, setting it apart from any other adaptive learning tool on the market.
