Bookshelf CoachMe Feature Overview for Students

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.

Locate the Practice Questions and Knowledge Checks  

To find the practice questions and knowledge checks, navigate to Bookshelf via your Learning Management System course. As you read, practice questions will appear both in the margin and in the bottom right of the reader. Click on either the margin icon(s) or Practice Questions pane to view and answer the questions.

Practice questions appear throughout the chapters as you read, while the knowledge checks are at the end of the chapter or unit. Each set of questions is identified in the margin with different icons:
