What do you like best about MindTap?

MindTap is web-based so I can access it from anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MindTap?

I cannot get immediate feedback regarding the questions I've answered - I have to wait until a specific due date to receive the feedback. Reading full books is ridiculous - the searchability function either went away with a recent update or is difficult to find and MindTap doesn't save my place - each time I log in, I have to search through the chapters again to find the page I left off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MindTap solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's a training/development tool that allows the trainer to assign reading and quizzes, but there are simpler, more economical tools out there that do more than MindTap does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MindTap?

I like that we can have a "notebook" and additional learning tools to help better understand the learning materials.

What do you like best about MindTap?

MindTap is one of those rare publisher tools that offers a complete package: e-textbook, interactive exercises, customizable quizzes, content supported by universal design and accessibility principles, note-taking and study tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MindTap?

As with most publisher tools, when you want to integrate it into your learning management system, it requires students to access a separate platform and create a separate account. This can be synchronized to your LMS, but it can't be branded with the institution's logo or colors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MindTap:

If you plan on using MindTap with your LMS, ask for training from a technical integration specialist. Be proactive when you know your LMS will be upgraded and involve the vendor as early as possible to ensure the tool is functional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MindTap solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can quickly incorporate specialized curriculum, content, and assessments into our courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MindTap?

The best feature for a teacher is the access to exams and its somewhat seamless integration into CANVAS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MindTap?

The most disliked feature is that the exercises are out of date; broken links, software inaccuracies, etc. This means that the instructors have to verify every minute detail. If we need to do that, then we need to write it and get paid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MindTap solving and how is that benefiting you?

It should streamline the teaching process by giving students access to intuitive software. It has potential, but work needs to be done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
