launch of new assessment capabilities available on its refreshed and
rebranded ClinicalKey Student

Building upon the platform's successful history of helping
students to learn by giving them access to evidence-based medical
content, the assessment capabilities enable faculty to easily build
and assign assessments in a way that supplements their curriculum. It
also helps them to identify topics their students are struggling with
through detailed performance dashboards and cumulative data. Faculty
have the freedom to select questions, building bespoke assessments
based on the wide array of content and the needs of their class. In
addition, students can supplement their learning by creating their
own quizzes to address areas of weakness identified while using the
platform or though standard examinations.

"Medical education and learning habits have changed dramatically,"
said Elizabeth Munn, Managing Director, Education, Elsevier. "We
believe that providing students and faculty with the tools to deliver
frequent formative assessments that give faculty insights into their
students learning strengths and weakness is critical to the
development of the medical professionals of the future."

To understand student and faculty needs, over 200 hours of user
research were conducted globally to develop the new assessment
capabilities, ensuring the platform delivers on the promise to the
user and provides an experience that can be seamlessly integrated
into their day-to-day learning.

The new assessment capabilities on ClinicalKey Student will be
available March 2019 in the following regions: Europe, the UK,
Australia and New Zealand. Further launches are planned in the Middle
East and Africa.
