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, with answer-specific feedback, before they move on to the next section. A new "Navigating the Webs of World History" activity (before the first chapter) models for students how to successfully use the ebook to support their learning and introduces them to the webs theme and world history in general. And new interactive "Human Web" map activities break down the maps into step-by-step components with questions and answer-specific feedback.
- 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 sources and maps equip students with the world 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 analysis of primary source documents, images, maps, and different types of evidence, and a new tutorial on AI literacy provides a further resource for cultivating student critical thinking. In every chapter of the Norton Illumine Ebook, students practice their critical reading and analysis skills with primary source documents, images, and map interactives.
- Instructors can also choose from brief, assignable Primary Source Exercises and Map Exercises that accompany every chapter of the book, and a NEW Primary Source Collection that provides hundreds of extra primary source documents and images beyond 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
