SimNet XPert: Integration

With SimNet XPert your students get the benefit of a fully integrated learning and assessment system. After your students complete an exam, they not only get a results report with page references to the McGraw-Hill textbook you are using in class; they also have access to a Make Custom Lesson button. Clicking this button causes SimNet XPert to assemble a custom menu in the Learning Component that covers just the skills that the student got incorrect, or did not try, on that exam.
