Award-winning teacher Sarah Grison believes that students and instructors succeed best when supported by the best learning tools. Teach and inspire your students using a book and integrated resource package with a focus on inclusion, efficacy, and outcomes, with content directly informed by empirical research.
The new Norton Illumine Ebook engages students as they read brief chunks of text, assess themselves through dynamic Learning Goal Checks with rich answer-specific feedback, and build their understanding of neurological function with a 3D brain. Hold your students accountable for their reading with seamless LMS gradebook integration.
Using her 25 years of teaching experience, Sarah blended educational psychology research and student success support into six learning strategies, showcased throughout the book in one-page infographics. As students read, two to three actionable Learning Pauses per chapter echo the strategies they’ve encountered so far and offer students opportunities to check their learning.
Built by a cognitive psychologist, InQuizitive uses personalized question sets, varied interactive question types, formative answer-specific feedback, and game-like elements to help students build their comprehension of core course concepts.
Students participate in experimental trials, analyze the resulting data, read about the concepts illustrated by the research, and complete assessment questions along the way in these easy-to-use activities.
A new interactive 3D Brain helps students visualize and explore brain structure and function. Author Sarah Grison has written a five part pedagogical framework for each area of the brain.
