An interactive ebook that gets students reading, listening, watching, and analyzing
For students, the Norton Illumine Ebook breaks the chapters into smaller, more digestible chunks of information with low-stakes concept check questions (called "Check Your Understanding") at the end of each section to ensure students understand what they've read in one section before they move on to the next section. Students receive answer-specific feedback as they work through each section's questions. And the NEW How to Make the Most of Your Textbook primer introduces students to the interactive features and reader support tools of the Norton Illumine Ebook.
For instructors, the Norton Illumine Ebook can be integrated directly into an existing learning management system, making for easy assignability and easy student access. You can also embed your own content, notes, and videos into the ebook to further direct your students.
Primary and secondary sources equip students with the historian’s toolkit
For students, the text and courseware give them the enduring skills and scaffolding they need to read and think critically, analyze evidence, and articulate their own perspective. First, our popular interactive History Skills Tutorials introduce primary source document, secondary source document, image, and map analysis. Then, in every chapter of the Norton Illumine Ebook, students practice their critical reading and analysis skills with primary source document, image, and map interactives.
Instructors can also choose from a revised and expanded Primary and Secondary Source Collection that provides hundreds of extra primary source documents as well as NEW secondary sources, and an Image Collection that provides hundreds of additional images as well as all the images from the text.
An adaptive tool that helps personalize students' learning experience
For students, InQuizitive is a low-stakes adaptive learning tool that helps them assess their comprehension once they have finished reading the chapter. Students receive a variety of interactive questions, including questions on historical developments and on the maps and primary sources from the chapter. InQuizitive adapts to the needs of each individual student and promotes a growth mindset that they can succeed if they put in the effort.
For instructors, students arrive better prepared for class, giving you more time for discussion and activities. The Class Activity Report for each InQuizitive activity provides data to determine which topic(s) students might need to review more and helps professors intervene with students who might be struggling early on in the course. InQuizitive can also improve student learning outcomes when assigned consistently for points, as a part of the overall course grade.
Easy assignability and easy student access right in your LMS
For students, all activities can be accessed from within your existing learning management system, with no new system to learn.
For instructors, easily add high-quality Norton digital resources to your online, hybrid, or lecture courses through integrated links.
