Achieve: The Benefits


Firstly, Achieve engages students both inside and outside of the classroom, with pre-built assignments, adaptive quizzing and a variety of activities. It's also designed for students of all levels, whether they are high achievers or perhaps need a little extra support. At the heart of Achieve is the instructor and student experience, from our initial development, to the ease of use, to the expert customer support. Instructors benefit from Achieve’s insights and reports, displayed in a simple and powerful interface

What do our users think?

We have had a large number of students and instructors try out Achieve so far. Here's what a few of those users had to say about it.

'I found Achieve was readily accessible and was not complicated to pick up or to use anywhere, any time'
- a student user

'As I continue to progress in my position, there are more responsibilities outside of the classroom that require more of my time. Having Achieve relieves some stress for this course as I know it takes less time for me to prepare things on my own'

– Ryan Elsenpeter

'For some reason, these students worked together far more than is common. Like a lot more. They have long meetings in the library several times a week, and a significant portion of the class goes. It is, in one word, amazing.'

– William Griffiths

'The pre-lecture activities helped the students to participate more in the class.'

– Harpreet Malhotra
