Interactive Psychology

InQuizitive

Reinforce essential concepts, build key skills, and deepen understanding by assigning InQuizitive.

Informed by educational gaming design, InQuizitive’s adaptive algorithm gives students questions at the right level for them, while incorporating motivating techniques such as “leveling up,” constant score tracking, and intermittent score bonuses.
A wide variety of question types, both conceptual and applied, require students to think deeply about the content they’re learning. Answer-specific just-in-time feedback guides students to the correct answer on every question.
InQuizitive rewards effort: students can keep working through questions in InQuizitive until they reach 100%.
Instructors can assign premade assignments or choose particular learning objectives and can track student performance across various levels with performance reports that track individual and class-wide results.

ZAPS 3.0

ZAPS 3.0 Interactive Labs are easy-to-use, affordable lab activities that invite students to actively engage in the scientific process.

In each ZAPS lab activity, students participate in hands-on interactive activities inspired by classic psychological studies.
Each lab activity follows a consistent five-part structure:
- Introduction, in which the activity is introduced in a real-world context
- Experience, in which students take the role of researchers or participants in interactive experiments
- Results, in which students analyze their data graphed alongside their classmates’
- Discussion, which connects the lab findings to a core course concept
- Learning Check, in which students answer questions and receive answer-specific feedback to solidify their understanding
A Class Activity Report gives instructors detailed data on student performance and enables them to display graphed results for in-class discussion.
ZAPS has been completely redesigned with streamlined content, added formative assessment, enhanced visuals, and much more instructor support!

Interactive 3D Brain

Give your students a hands-on way to explore brain structure and function.

Students can rotate the brain, zoom in and out, and add or remove structures.
The 3D brain is introduced in Chapter 3: Brain, Mind, and Behavior and incorporated into InQuizitive adaptive assessment questions.

Learn how our tools can be used before, during, and after your online or in-person class

1. Before Class

For Students

Read the interactive ebook using highlighting, note taking, and audio-reader features that support learning. Students use the questions at the end of each brief study unit to check their understanding.

Designed by a cognitive psychologist, InQuizitive’s award-winning adaptive learning activities promote a growth mindset and build understanding through retrieval practice and concept application. Wagering points helps students metacognitively identify what they do and don’t know.

For Instructors

Instructors tell us that assigning InQuizitive for 10–15% of the course points ensures students complete the reading and understand important concepts before coming to class. Integration ensures that grades flow into your LMS gradebook.

The Class Activity Report identifies topics/learning objectives your students struggled with to inform what you might want to review during class. It also identifies individual students who might be struggling early in the term to allow for just-in-time intervention.

2. During Online, Hybrid, or In-person Class
