Anatomy of an Acrobatiq Course

Acrobatiq's default organizational structure is

  • Units*
  • Modules*
  • Lessons (or pages)

*These defaults may be customized in your course - ie. "Modules" may be "Chapters" that correspond with a textbook. 

One of the most powerful features of Acrobatiq courseware is the embedded formative assessment and feedback in each lesson. Lessons (or pages) contain course content and are tagged toLearning Objectives. 

As students practice what they have learned by engaging with these activities, they produce a rich data stream on the learning process that drives adaptivity and data analytics.
