About the Courseware
Oxford Insight pairs the quality higher education titles instructors prefer with curated media resources, activities, and gradable assessment in a digital, guided learning environment that delivers performance analytics and, ultimately, drives student engagement.
Courseware Features Overview
Oxford Insight delivers a modern user experience for higher education instructors and students. The overall intuitive user interface and navigation provides a seamless way for students to engage with the content and for instructors to easily access robust reporting and course management tools.
Anatomy of a Course
Engagement through active learning
Oxford Insight courses are organized into sections that map to clear learning objectives. Each section includes the e-Book, relevant media resources, formative activities, and practice self-assessment. The left-hand navigation sidebar allows for more vertical space for the content and can be collapsed to maximize screen space further.
Dashboard
The dashboard landing pages spotlight key information immediately upon login. For students, the dashboard brings forward the elements most important to them, including assignments due, current grade, messages from their instructor, and the course table of contents. The instructor dashboard provides a snapshot of assignments that need grading, current student course performance, and a calendar view of assignments and due dates.

Instructors can customize an Oxford Insight course in a myriad of ways to meet their unique pedagogical needs at any time.
As the instructor, you have the ability to customize any existing quiz or create your own from scratch.
Adding/removing questions from the bank
Adding questions you create in a wide variety of question types (some auto-graded and some not)

Study Center
The Study Center is very student driven. We don’t gate, force path, or lock content to users. This is based on research around student motivation. Force-pathing students (and taking the control out of their hands) often hurts proficiency. Instead, Oxford Insight provides information to the user to allow them to take control of the adaptive experience.
As students work through the activities in their Oxford Insight course – that is, they read the assigned text and complete assessments – the Study Center recommends the sections each student needs to review further based on their unique performance on the assessments within the chapter and their time spent in the reading.
