Digital Teaching and Learning Tools
Norton Illumine E-Book
The Norton Illumine Ebook enhances students’ reading and learning experience. Engaging features illustrate and reinforce core concepts for all students in a supportive, accessible, and low-stakes environment.
InQuizitive
InQuizitive is Norton’s easy-to-use adaptive learning tool that personalises the learning experience for students, helping them to learn—and retain—key learning objectives. Through a variety of question types, answer-specific feedback, and gamelike elements such as the ability to adjust their confidence level for each question, students are motivated to keep working until they’ve learned the concepts.
Videos & Animations
Animations and videos illustrate some of the most difficult concepts in biological anthropology to help students visualise and understand these concepts and connect them to their lives.
Anthropology in 3D
3D models of select human and nonhuman primate crania and anatomy, and fossil crania of key hominins, allow students to explore specimens in a tactile way even in an online setting. These models are embedded in the Norton Illumine Ebook and included in five interactives throughout the text. They are also included in InQuizitive.
