I tried to have reading guides and learning targets posted, but there was no way to ensure that the students were considering the points during reading rather than just at the end.

How has Actively Learn helped improve your students’ learning and/or your teaching?

It helped me to have a quicker understanding of student comprehension before waiting until the end of the text. I was able to get a quick snapshot of what my students were learning and also give them immediate feedback.
