Mistakes are part of learning—but students need more than just a red “X.”

Explain Error identifies exactly where the student went wrong and provides them with a clear, step-by-step explanation, helping them understand the why, not just the what.

Reporting & Analytics



The course management system contains robust reporting tools so you can track how students are doing on any assignment in real time. Detailed performance reporting and analytics allow you to keep a finger on the pulse of your classroom.

Solutions & Hints
