Cengage Learning has launched mobile app editions of its digital content platform, MindTap, which is available for 520 of Cengage's course areas and delivers a number of student learning functions such as reading, homework, quizzes and flashcards. The new apps put some of those features into a mobile form to allow users to access the material on their smartphones. MindTap Mobile is intended to act as a workflow manager for students as they are notified when an instructor sends a message, changes a due date or alters a grade. They can set due date reminders, review prebuilt flashcards or make their own, and take set quizzes or generate their own.

Cengage Intros MindTap Apps for Digital Content

Education publishing company Cengage Learning has launched native mobile app editions of its digital content platform, MindTap. MindTap is available for 520 of Cengage's course areas and delivers a number of student functions — reading, homework, quizzes and flashcards. The new iOS and Android apps put some of those features into a mobile form to allow users to access the material on their smartphones in available "pockets of time."

MindTap Mobile is intended to act as a workflow manager for students. They're notified when an instructor sends a message, changes a due date or alters a grade. They can set reminders for what's due; review prebuilt flashcards or make their own; and take chapter-specific quizzes or generate self-quizzes from the flashcard deck.

"We set out to create a mobile product that adapts to students' busy lives outside of the classroom," said MindTap Product Director Jared Mann in a prepared statement. "MindTap Mobile represents a subset of the MindTap experience that students told us would be most useful to have available right from their phone."
