Macmillan Achieve
Achieve is Macmillan Learning’s online platform that offers assessment tools and content for all students. Its user-friendly interface keeps students organised and integrates seamlessly with Quercus for an enhanced classroom experience. With Achieve, students can:
- Access a mobile-friendly, fully accessible e-book
- Use ready-made quizzes for better understanding
- Complete online homework or exams
- Monitor their progress with the gradebook
Macmillan Achieve is enabled as an option in Quercus by default, but instructors will need an Achieve Access Code to begin using the platform.
Instructors will need to contact the U of T Bookstore to acquire a Macmillan Achieve Access Code:
The Academic Toolbox helps you...
The tools in your Quercus Academic Toolbox can assist with your course delivery by Organizing Content, helping you Connect and communicate with your students, Assessing student work and providing feedback, and allowing you to Teach from a distance.
Typical Course Format?
Most tools in the Academic Toolbox can assist in both online and face-to-face courses. Many tools can provide benefits in either synchronous or asynchronous teaching. Some tools have been primarily designed for one format or another (synchronous/asynchronous), however, may be adapted for any format depending on your pedagogical goals.
To learn more about different teaching modalities, please consult our Online Teaching & Learning page, arrange a consultation with a CTSI Teaching Liason, or contact your Divisional support representative.
