StudyMate Class Server StudyMate Class Server is the ultimate study group where teachers and students create study materials in a collaborative, web-based environment. Simple templates are used to enter items such as glossary terms or facts from lecture. Students can then view the materials using self-assessments or interactive learning activities. StudyMate Class Server integrates seamlessly with Blackboard courses and creates a social learning environment that is fun, engaging ... and a bit addictive!

Why It's used Students learn at each step of the process: creating, editing and reviewing items (no more blind memorization of course materials) Instructors can select student-generated questions for use on tests, resulting in "fresh" questions each term "Social learning" fosters peer accountability and makes the course more engaging Student participation can easily be tracked and graded, providing an additional way to assess student knowledge

The "Lite" and standard versions of StudyMate Class Server use the same Building Block or PowerLink connector, so no reinstallation is required for institutions wanting to continue with the Lite version.
