Cengage Offers Free Virtual Learning Tutorials for Cengage Unlimited Subscribers
The coronavirus pandemic has forced many colleges to switch to online or hybrid instruction, so education and technology company Cengage is providing college students with free tutorials to help navigate online learning, according to a recent press release.
The “Change How You Learn” tutorials are included with a Cengage Unlimited subscription. Cengage Unlimited gives students affordable access to more than 22,000 products, including eBooks, online homework access codes and study guides.
“Many students who had intended to take classes in-person had a difficult experience with online learning this spring when campuses closed and learning quickly moved online,” said Fernando Bleichmar, Cengage’s EVP and General Manager of Higher Education and Skills. “Online learning can be intimidating and many students worry if they can be successful in an online environment. They are also worried if they can afford their education because of the financial impact of the pandemic. Cengage Unlimited helps by giving students the flexibility they need, along with affordable access to quality learning with supports to be successful in any environment.”
The “Change How You Learn” tutorials provide quick skills-based learning activities for successful online or hybrid learning. Some of the topics covered include: “Best Practices for Online Learning, ”“The Challenges of Online Courses,”“Tips for Online Test Taking,” and “Connecting with Your Peers.”
Students actively looking for a job or currently working can also access “Changing How You Work Tutorials” in the “Career Success Tips” section of their Cengage Unlimited dashboard to find helpful tips to prepare them for the global shift to remote working including tutorials like: “How to Do a Video Interview,” “Working Remotely,” and more.
Beyond academic support, students can also find support for Self-Care, including guided meditations, exercise demonstrations, and tutorials about “Managing Feelings of Loneliness” and “Maintaining Social Connections.”
A Cengage Unlimited subscription includes additional college success and career support activities to help with things like time management, financial literacy, studying techniques, health/wellness and resume building.
