Flexible student and instructor resources
The following digital resources are included with all new copies of the text or can be purchased standalone. Accessibility is at the core of all the products we create, with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), the most widely accepted voluntary international standard for accessibility, ensuring that all students can succeed in your course.
The Norton Illumine Ebook
The new Norton Illumine Ebook reinforces key concepts for students through interactive features and low-stakes questions designed to keep them on track as they read.
3D models of bones and fossils are embedded directly in the ebook.
Embedded videos allow students to hear from anthropologists working in the field today and help illustrate the real-world and career applications of course concepts.
Each section of the ebook concludes with Check Your Understanding questions that provide answer-specific feedback, addressing the common challenge of class preparedness.
InQuizitive
InQuizitive is Norton’s easy-to-use adaptive learning tool that personalizes the learning experience for students, helping them to learn—and retain—key learning objectives.
InQuizitive provides students with ample opportunities to engage with the chapter’s content and learning objectives before they come to class. As a result, students arrive better prepared for class, giving you more time for discussion and activities.
3D-model questions and questions based on the “Anthropology Matters” and “Anthropology at Work” videos allow students to engage more analytically with these popular features.
InQuizitive can improve student learning outcomes when assigned consistently for points, as a part of the overall course grade.
A robust activity report makes it easy to identify challenging concepts and allows for just-in-time intervention for students who need guided support. Additionally, LMS integration saves you time by reporting InQuizitive scores directly to your LMS gradebook.
Videos & Animations
Videos and animations illustrate some of the most difficult concepts in biological anthropology to help students visualize and understand these concepts and connect them to their lives.
The video collection includes:
Conceptual animations
Videos on topics with an emphasis on paleoanthropology and primatology
“Anthropology Matters” videos
“Anthropology at Work” videos
