Microvideos

Up to 30-second video clips stimulate a conversation rather than a lecture and keep students engaged. The average video length is only 10 seconds, which helps keep students from losing focus.

Adaptive Branching

No two students experience a SnapCourse the same way. If a student needs extra support to master a skill, the lesson will direct that student down a separate learning path that offers additional guidance to help them grasp the concept. After that, they can pick up back where they left off! Meanwhile, students who continue to show mastery of the skill can quickly continue on to more challenging topics.

Learn by Doing

Our course isn’t a wall of text or a river of passive video streams. Students never go a minute without taking part in a wide range of activities that vary snap to snap.

Hints and Feedback

Students disengage when a question is too difficult. Our highly tailored hints and answer feedback gently prompt students toward the right direction, like a tutor over their shoulder, to keep them on track and help them avoid making the same mistakes in the future.

Equitable Access

Students can access a SnapCourse on any major browser, on any device, with no downloads required.
