ADAPT | Distance Education

Purpose

ADAPT is an Open Educational Resource (OER) provided by Libretexts, that allows you to adopt and/or create quizzes and assignments using a variety of powerful tools. ADAPT integrates with Canvas, so grades for ADAPT activities will automatically pass over to the Canvas gradebook. ADAPT provides robust question types and activities free of cost.

Description

ADAPT can be used in two different ways:

Use ADAPT assignments and actvities that have already been created. These can be used in concert with a Libretext OER textbook or as stand-alone activities.
Create your own ADAPT activities and assignments.
