IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES through tutorials and scholarly sources supporting the Common Core

Recognized by the market as an intuitive resource:

“…the beauty of Gale’s eye-catching product is that the tools are presented to users in an unusually inviting way. Questia has an Amazon-like vibe; it offers ebooks, for example, in a slide show that pushes featured titles on a particular theme as well as popular and newly added works. Other options since the overhaul include access to research tutorials that promise to ‘guide users through professor-approved approaches’ to writing papers. Dictionary, thesaurus, and citation tools are there, too, and a handy ‘global-search’ box appears on every page.” – Library Journal

What others are saying about Questia School"I've been teaching for a long time. This is the first year I haven’t had kids complain about finding information. It is in Questia School, no matter how difficult or narrow the subject matter. It is like a new world opened at their fingertips. Questia School is user friendly for the student AND the teacher. The students love that it helps them cite their work automatically. At this point, I can't imagine assigning research papers without Questia School."
