Quick Navigation

Overview

Today's leading digital platform, MindTap for SOC, 6th Edition, gives you complete control of your course—equipping you to craft unique learning experiences that challenge students, build confidence and elevate performance.

A streamlined learning path and redesigned assessments minimize reader distraction, while dual-pane assignments for students pair readings side-by-side with assessments. MindTap presents complex concepts using a blend of engaging narrative and media assets clearly linked to assessments. So, students can start applying concepts to real-world situations from the beginning of your course with content that progresses from understanding core concepts to critical thinking and, ultimately, application.

Exclusive Instructor Tools allow you to customize course content to your needs and tailor assessments to match the specific language and style of your course. New Instructor Reports provide actionable insights into student performance and present opportunities for just-in-time intervention.

Use MindTap as-is or customize it to meet your specific needs. You can even integrate it easily into your LMS.
