UNIVERSAL LEARNING PATH FEATURES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE:

WHY DOES “THIS” MATTER TO ME? ACTIVITIES
Immediately emphasize relevance of historical topics and themes with these activities, which are designed to be fun and spark lively discussion. These activities connect chapter concepts to real-world issues and are the first point of engagement, captivating student attention by resonating with their everyday lives. MindTap also provides ample opportunities for students to draw parallels between the past and present.

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.

MOVE BEYOND MEMORIZATION
“Learn It” activities offer small sections of instruction that highlight the most important concepts in each chapter. Each auto-graded “Learn It” activity reinforces the text's instruction, with students interacting with relevant and varied historical sources to demonstrate comprehension. “Learn Its” can be assigned to ensure student understanding of key concepts before class.
