What is Aplia?

* Coming in Spring 2010

Aplia was created by a classroom instructor who was looking for a way to elicit more effort from his students and hold them accountable for work outside the classroom, without taking up

more of his time.

Why Aplia? • Ensures students put forth effort on a

regular basis

• Makes courses relevant and engaging

• Easy to use, incredibly reliable

• Provides detailed, immediate feedback on every question

Why Aplia?

"My test average in class is typically a 65. I changed nothing in the course except for the Aplia assignments and the class made a 76.5 average. I've always known that homework makes for a better grade, I'm just glad I

have Aplia to do the grading."
