Sherpath AI is an innovative conversational AI tool that generates personalised, comprehensive answers to student and faculty questions sourced exclusively from Elsevier's vast library of trusted, evidence-based content. Students can get immediate, context-relevant answers in the moment of learning without leaving the platform, while faculty can use Sherpath AI to quickly find teaching strategies, classroom activity ideas, and content clarifications — making both teaching and learning more efficient without sacrificing accuracy or evidence quality.
Sherpath's comprehensive performance dashboard gives faculty visibility into individual student and cohort performance through confidence indicators, adaptive remediation data, quiz and assignment results, and skills competency check-offs — all in one place. This integrated view enables faculty to identify students who are struggling early, modify lectures based on observed content misconceptions, and create targeted adaptive quizzes for remediation on specific topics where knowledge gaps have been identified.
Sherpath includes NGN item types and both traditional and Next-Generation NCLEX question formats throughout its enhanced test banks, allowing faculty to author and administer quizzes and exams that expose students to NGN question styles as part of their regular coursework — not just in the final weeks before graduation. This early, continuous integration of NGN content builds the clinical judgment skills the new NCLEX format demands progressively across the full nursing program.
