Specific digital features include: NEW! In Mastering, these videos are accompanied by auto-gradable assessments that track what students have learned. A series of videos have been created with annotation, sketching, and narrations to improve the way students learn about monoclines, streams, terraces, and so much more.
In Mastering, these videos are accompanied by assessment to test what students take away. SmartFigure Tutorial Videos are accessed using a mobile device with BouncePages , an augmented reality app, and show the student a 3- to 4-minute feature mini-lesson that is prepared and narrated by Professor Callan Bentley. GigaPan Activities allow students to take advantage of a virtual field experience with high-resolution picture technology that has been developed by Carnegie Mellon University in conjunction with NASA.
Dynamic assessment includes questions related to core geology concepts. All explorations include corresponding Google Earth KMZ media files, and questions include hints and specific wrong-answer feedback to help coach students towards mastery of the concepts while improving their geospatial reasoning skills.
All maps are complete with hints and wrong-answer feedback, providing more compelling interactive mapping media and assessments across the chapters. GEODe Tutorials provide an interactive visual walkthrough of each chapter's core content through animation, videos, illustrations, photographs, and narration.
Created by Dennis Tasa, activities include assessment questions to test those concepts with hints and wrong-answer feedback. GeoTutor Activities are based on data collected from educators across the country, addressing the topics most often ranked as tough for students to understand in a visually compelling way.
Geoscience Animations illuminate the most difficult-to-visualize topics from across the physical geosciences, such as solar system formation, hydrologic cycle, plate tectonics, glacial advance and retreat, global warming, and more. The animation activities include audio narration, a text transcript, and assignable questions with specific wrong-answer feedback.
Pre-Lecture Reading Quizzes ensure that students complete the assigned reading before class and stay on track with reading assignments. Dynamic Study Modules help students study effectively on their own by continuously assessing their activity and performance in real time.
Here's how it works: students complete a set of questions with a unique answer format that also asks them to indicate their confidence level. Questions repeat until the student can answer them all correctly and confidently. Once completed, Dynamic Study Modules explain the concept using materials from the text. These are available as graded assignments prior to class, and accessible on smartphones, tablets, and computers. Seamlessly integrated videos and other rich media.
Accessible screen-reader ready. Configurable reading settings, including resizable type and night reading mode. Instructor and student note-taking, highlighting, bookmarking, and search. Instructors, you can: Pose a variety of open-ended questions that help your students develop critical thinking skills. Monitor responses to find out where students are struggling.
Use real-time data to adjust your instructional strategy and try other ways of engaging your students during class. Manage student interactions by automatically grouping students for discussion, teamwork, and peer-to-peer learning. About the book Bringing the textbook to life NEW!

By scanning figures associated with the BouncePages icon, students are immediately connected to the digital world and can deepen their learning experience with the printed text.
Many of the pages also include hands-on practice opportunities for students to directly apply what they just learned. There are also short URLs in the caption of each SmartFigure, ensuring that students who may not own or have a mobile device can access the digital learning objects.
Four-part learning path facilitates active learning, allowing students to focus on important ideas and pause to assess their progress at frequent intervals: The chapter-opening Focus on Concepts lists the learning objectives for each chapter. Each section of the chapter is tied to a specific learning objective, providing students with a clear learning path to the chapter content.
Concepts in Review , a fresh approach to the typical end of-chapter material, provides students with a structured and highly visual review of the chapter. Consistent with the Focus on Concepts and Concept Checks, the Concepts in Review is structured around the section title and the corresponding learning objective for each section.
Smaller, more manageable content modules that focus on core geologic principles are included in each chapter and make key concepts more accessible than ever. Eye on the Earth feature engages students with active learning tasks, asking them to perform critical thinking and visual analysis tasks to analyze data and make predictions.
Art that teaches and motivates includes high-quality photographs and line art that were carefully selected to aid understanding, add realism, and heighten student interest. The art program is the work of Dennis Tasa, a gifted artist and respected geological illustrator.
