Multimedia

Video, images, text, infographics all hosted in an easy to navigate environment.

Our unique editorial process blends traditional content with rich multimedia to engage students and connect abstract concepts to the real world. We scour the digital planet to locate and permission the most relevant news stories, images, audio clips, videos, and infographics to enhance your syllabus.

When needed, Soomo’s team of creative instructional designers works with our internal multimedia department to create Soomo original videos and documentaries, audio, images, infographics, and other content to ensure that key points are well supported by diverse content.

Our content works on all browsers, any operating system, and on mobile devices with Internet access and a browser.

Interactive

Learning is not a passive activity.

Soomo’s webtexts are assignment-based environments designed to prompt students to think in unique ways. On average, students interact at least once for every five minutes they spend with content. Students respond to the material through thought-provoking questions and engage each other through polls, discussions, and response boards. Our multimedia, primary resources, audio, and other content are embedded in the web browser with assessment questions in line to ensure that students take away key points. This high level of interactivity is key to our learning analytics.

Study Tools

Students keep organized and stay on track.

Webtexts are delivered in the Soomo learning environment, providing students with the means to:

• highlight (in three colors)
• fill the margins with annotations
• receive immediate feedback on assessment questions
• take (and retake) comprehension quizzes
• roll over vocabulary

Customizable

Perfect your course’s webtext.

Our help desk is available to customize the course to match your syllabus. We can add in your favorite resources, original assessment questions, or simply organize the webtext’s chapters to match your preferred order.

Tech Support

We provide support directly to students.

We provide tech support directly to instructors and students so that your inbox isn’t bogged down with lost passwords and browser issues. Our support staff is available via phone, email, and live chat during business hours. We guarantee a response time within 24 hours for all tickets, but we are typically much faster.

The courses are available 24/7 with over 99.9% uptime. We have a tech team standing by so if there is a problem, we’ll be on it in a jiffy.

Analytics-Driven

Know what they are doing and learning.

Soomo’s learning environment measures student-time on assignment and assessment scores. When students miss the point, you’ll know why. Our easy-to-navigate dashboard provides you with a bird’s eye view of student learning, assignment by assignment. Easily identify students who are at the top of the class, as well as those needing extra attention. Every block in the dashboard reflects the assignment percentage complete. Hovering over any block will provide more detailed information including time spent on assignment, date, and scores.
