WHY DOES “THIS” MATTER TO ME? ACTIVITIES
Immediately engage students with new “Why Does ‘This’ Matter to Me?” Activities. These features connect the upcoming chapter to an authentic, real-world scenario designed to pique engagement and emphasize relevance. Use these activities to ensure students read material before class and to trigger lively in-class discussion.

CHAPTER-LEVEL eTEXTBOOK
Foster student engagement from day one with a dynamic eTextbook that brings the value, concepts and applications of the printed text to life. Students open an active-learning experience as each chapter provides opportunities to interact with content using the approach that's best for the individual learner.

Each “Learn It” activity reinforces the text's instruction and approaches concepts in a different way to promote student choice and autonomy with personalized learning. You can assign Learn Its to ensure students have read and understand key concepts before class.

STUDY TOOLS TO HELP STUDENTS LEARN IT FOR LIFE
