Bookshelf CoachMe Feature Overview for Students

Imagine having a free study coach whenever you need it. Bookshelf CoachMe provides ungraded practice questions and knowledge checks right in your Bookshelf etext. These AI-generated questions help you prepare and practice all in one place. This learn-by-doing approach based on learning science can improve your study experience by showing you what you already know, so you can focus on what you need to learn.

Note: CoachMe is currently primarily an online feature. It is also available in some of our Bookshelf applications.
