“Thanks to MindTap and its Bongo platform, we were successful in establishing a learning community and environment within which students easily interact with each other and their professors. MindTap is a highly useful tool for students that greatly reinforces their learning. It offers a variety of different types of exercises that keep students engaged and interested.”
