Prepares Your Students

- Discipline relevance – SaplingLearning.com features the industry’s richest, most pedagogically effective interactive tools for learning science. Students learn through engaging, discipline-specific interactions, including drawing molecules, entering equations, and graphing, and develop the skills they need to perform on exams.
- Powerful teaching – Because students receive immediate feedback and remediation, SaplingLearning.com promotes comprehension and motivation. Instruction includes targeted feedback, powerful tutorial mentoring, detailed solutions, and multiple practice opportunities for students to achieve mastery.
- Reduces cheating – Algorithmically generated content requires students to do their own work and curbs cheating.
Freedom
- Independent – Unlike many other online systems that must be used in connection with a specific textbook(s), SaplingLearning.com offers complete textbook independence. With Sapling.Learning.com, you will always have access to your content. Regardless of the textbook(s) they adopt, instructors are free to maintain and modify the online learning portion of their course year after year without fear of losing the content they have authored.
- Empowers instructors – SaplingLearning.com offers instructors complete control over the content given to their students. We empower instructors to make modifications or write new content so that it truly serves the unique needs of your students.
- Community collaboration – SaplingLearning.com is revolutionizing how instructional content is created and shared on the Web. This is the first system of its kind to empower instructors to share content you create with participating colleagues and to adopt and customize content written by others.
Lowers the Cost of Education
- At only $24.99 per student, your students will pay less than they would for competing online products. Sapling Learning believes that quality online education should be accessible and we are committed to providing exceptional online instruction at a reasonable price.
- Bundled online homework products are not free – Publishers bundle online homework access with textbooks, which leads to the perception that it is "free." It is not free! Most students want to purchase used textbooks because of the tremendous savings. However, used texts are not bundled with an access code, and students must then buy "stand-alone" access, which is more expensive than SaplingLearning.com.
