Boost engagement for high knowledge uptake before class

‍With Interactive Study Materials tools, instructors create engaging preparation activities by uploading multimedia content and enriching them with questions and discussions. Students actively engage in studying the materials by responding to questions, asking questions, and discussing with others. To save time in creating prompts, instructors can use the Engagement Assistant feature (powered by AI) to help generate context-based open questions and discussions.
