Features
Pearson’s Learning Catalytics is an interactive student response application that uses students’ smartphones, tablets, or laptops to engage in interactive tasks and thinking. As an instructor, you can pose a variety of open-ended questions that help your students develop critical thinking skills, while monitoring responses with real-time analytics to find out where they’re struggling. Learning Catalytics also lets you manage student interactions by grouping them for team-based learning, or peer-to-peer discussion.
How to Access Learning Catalytics
Instructors can set up an account with unlimited access at no cost. Students will need to pay a small fee to download the app, which should be considered in the course syllabus planning. Refer to the Pearson Pricing web page for information on getting access.
