Hi, I'm here to talk to you about some of the exciting features you'll find in Revel for Communication.

Built in collaboration with educators and students nationwide, Revel is an immersive learning experience designed for the way today's students read, think, and learn. Let's take a look...

Revel enlivens course content with media interactives and videos that empower students to engage with concepts and take an active role in learning.

Students are able to immediately practice course material through Revel's embedded assignment and quizzing, providing students (with) opportunities to check their understanding at regular intervals before moving on.

In addition, a variety of Revel writing activities and assignments are provided to assess concept mastery and critical thinking.

This immersive experience boosts student engagement, which leads to better understanding of concepts and improved performance throughout the course.

Revel's assignment and tracking tools offer actionable information that helps educators intersect with their students in meaningful ways. Educators can indicate precisely which readings must be completed on which dates. This clear, detailed schedule helps students stay on task and keeps them motivated throughout the course.

By monitoring class assignment completion and individual student achievement, actionable information, such as points earned on quizzes and tests and time on task, helps educators see the progress of their students and their entire class.

Revel is also fully mobile, so students can read and interact with course material on their devices, anywhere and anytime.

Let's now take a look at a few Revel features specific to Communication.

First off, instructors want to make learning about communication a personal experience for each student so that they can learn about and grow their communication skills.

With self-assessments instructors are able to create a personalized education experience for their students. Students learn more about their own communication skills that they use every day.

Next, Revel's animated figure example makes it easier to explain difficult concepts…

Looking for examples of student and professional speeches to share with your class?

Students often need to see sample speeches to understand how to improve and learn what not to do. So with video quizzes, instructors can provide multiple types of speech examples that allow students to watch an example and complete a self-check. Students learn by watching an example of a speech or concept and completing a self-check to test their knowledge.

Finally, Revel makes it easier to provide short contextual audio examples for students. With Short-Speech Excerpts, students have abundant in-text speech excerpts that let them listen to audio clips while they read, bringing examples to life in a way that a printed text cannot. Revel provides students with contextual audio examples at their fingertips.

And there you have it. That was a quick look at just a handful of the valuable features in Revel for Communication. If you want to learn more, be sure to check out /Revel. Thanks for watching.
