Why Bookshelf CoachMe?

It’s Simple: Doing Practice Causes Learning

Based on Learning Science

Through years of research, our learning science team replicated the causal relationship that Learn by Doing, and the Doer Effect have on learning. As online education continues to evolve and accelerate, research-based approaches like this pave the way to create learning experiences that help students succeed.

AI Done Right

Our team of learning scientists has pioneered the intersection of AI and education with a focus on responsible innovation. The thoughtful integration of AI optimizes individual learning journeys and contributes to a more effective and engaging educational environment, aligning with VitalSource's commitment to advancing learning through innovative and evidence-based practices.

Award Winning

Bookshelf CoachMe is the industry’s leading AI tool for learners. In 2023, CoachMe was awarded a Codie Award for Best Use of AI in Ed Tech and the 1EdTech Silver Learning Impact Award. Join us in celebrating these milestones as we continue to transform digital learning and empower educational success.

Prepare, Practice, Focus

Practice makes perfect. Bookshelf CoachMe’s practice questions allow students to practice as they read. Practicing has about six times the effect on learning than reading—that’s called the Doer Effect, a learning science principle. 

Note: Bookshelf CoachMe’s practice questions are created by VitalSource’s proprietary AI technology and are part of the Bookshelf learning platform. 

How Does Bookshelf CoachMe Work

Practice Questions
