What if you could check student understanding, assign readings with built-in videos and diagrams, and have everything graded before you walked into the room?

OpenStax Assignable makes that possible. It layers your existing OpenStax biology text with reinforcement questions, videos, researcher profiles, and interactive diagrams, all inside the LMS your students already use. Auto-graded assignments. LMS grade sync. No new platform to learn!

Evidence points to structured course design helping reduce biology failure rates from 18.2% to 6.3%. Assignable can help you build structure into your course.

Starting at $15 per student, per book, per semester. Always free for instructors.
