Identify the challenge, intervene timeouslyPersonalised teaching and learning are made possible with analytics that determine the learners’ engagement with the content early on. Self-marking assessment tools further enable you to conduct low-stakes formative tests. React timeously to the challenges your learners are facing.

In a traditional teaching environment, tests and exams indicate a learner’s understanding of the work, with limited insight into their engagement with the content, textbook or other educational resources, before being tested. Through the insights provided by the analytics associated with ITSI’s miEbooks app, you can monitor learners‛ engagement with the content and compare this to other learners in the class.
