Remind students to study between quiz attempts. Suggest students plan time between quiz attempts to study and improve
Use the messaging tools. Set-up the automated messages; monitor and send the recommended messages
Students score higher on quizzes when teachers use Waymaker’s automated

“Waymaker is a great way to engage students
with the course content and hold them
accountable for engaging with it. Waymaker
raises expectations for student learning while
providing access to course content at a low
cost. Since using Waymaker, I have been able
to move to OER across all General Psych
sections and I have seen improved student
engagement.”
