Features

To boost learner engagement and a better content retainment, selective static materials within the original textbooks have been converted into meaningful and effective interactive content.

  • Process Explanation: Allows processes to be displayed systematically, with animations as needed, for a better and deeper understanding.
  • Explain Function: Allows functions of a critical part, to be conveniently displayed next to the image instead of scrolling within a page to find the match.
  • Summary: Replaces worded sentences, for definition of terms and summary of chapter sections, with engaging visual tools such as flashcards, infographics and clickable mindmaps.
  • Review Questions: The book offers students and instructors to work with end-of-chapter questions that can be auto-graded or offered as a Poll within the classroom.
