NortonAI

Students can use the Smart Highlight functionality to receive individualized reading support where they need it most. After highlighting the relevant section, they will see two NortonAI options: Rephrase and Give an Example. The Rephrase option offers alternative wording for the selected text to support understanding, while maintaining the original meaning. Give an Example provides a real-world or specific example to help students understand the highlighted text.  

At any point in their chapter reading, students can ask NortonAI to provide Practice Questions on their current section or on the full chapter. Using a variety of question types, including short answer, matching, fill in the blank, and multiple choice, NortonAI builds up students’ knowledge of the material, helping them to identify areas for additional review and cultivating a growth mindset in a private practice environment. As they practice, the confidence slider allows them to evaluate their own knowledge, and NortonAI uses these data to personalize their practice experience. 

In generating these questions, NortonAI is closed-source and trained to prevent distracting or incorrect outside information. In other words, it is asked to produce these questions only from the concepts and vocabulary in your student’s specific book. 

Norton Illumine takes your students’ reading experience to the next level. Engaging features illustrate and reinforce core concepts for all students in a supportive, accessible, and low-stakes environment. Check Your Understanding questions with rich feedback break chapters up into smaller sections and help ensure students understand each section they’ve read. Embedded interactives and Dynamic Data Figures engage students with explorations of important concepts or applications. As they read, students can also highlight, take notes, search, and more. Instructors can embed their own content into the text and promote student accountability through easy-to-use assignment tools in their LMS.
