It includes SmartBook, which is a version of the textbook with some sections highlighted, to focus you on the most important information. After reading part of the chapter, you will move to the practice mode, which asks questions on the portions of the chapter assigned by your instructor. These questions will ensure that you know the material. You continue by moving between reading and practicing until you have mastered the chapter material. When you have finished the assignment you can move to the Recharge phase to review the information you are most likely to forget, and other content that you still need to master.
the chapter quizzes on the textbook.
The three exams on the textbook.

The first time you use LearnSmart you will see some help screens to introduce you to the LearnSmart environment. You can see this again at any time: click on the menu button in the upper right corner (it has 3 lines), then choose help.
In SmartBook, if you move your mouse to the right side of the screen you will see two arrows. The upper arrow, which is yellowish, takes you to the next page with highlighted material. The lower arrow, which is blue, takes you to the next page. There are corresponding arrows on the left side of the screen which will take you back.
