Overall

Achieve is a robust and user friendly tool that demonstrates convincingly that non-STEM courses can also be delivered using adaptive technology. The writing tool is especially helpful.

There is an abundance of resources associated with the e-text, and it is user friendly.

Achieve needs to consider equity-minded design.
