Features of HMH Fuse include:

• Animated step-by-step instructions;
• Instant feedback;
• The ability to save notes;
• More than 400 video tutorials, even without Internet access; and
• Individual student assessments at the end of each chapter.

"Samsung believes that innovative technology can empower educators and enable a more engaging learning environment for students," said Bumcoo Cho, Samsung's senior vice president of the enterprise business team, mobile communications division, in a prepared statement. "This partnership with HMH is an important part of our commitment to providing both teachers and students with rich, interactive educational content across our GALAXY tablet lineup and through the Learning Hub application."
