Summary

A 360º digital experience that puts teaching and learning at the center
Marin and Hock’s Psychology engages your students in a 360º digital learning experience inside and outside the classroom so you can teach the course you’ve always wanted to teach. Built from the ground up as a fully digital offering in Pearson’s new REVEL™ platform, Psychologyharnesses the best available interactive, active-reading technology to put teaching and learning at the center. 
 
Mindful of the human attention span and the ways people best learn and remember, Marin and Hock make reading an active rather than a passive experience. Throughout REVEL for Psychology, the authors intersperse text with relevant YourTurn activities that prompt students to perform short experiments, solve problems, or otherwise engage with course material. And 360º activities allow you to extend students’ YourTurn active-learning experiences inside the classroom, fostering hands-on learning during class sessions. All of these activities prolong student attention, as well as help students apply what they’re learning to their own lives, which boosts understanding and retention.

Embracing the notion that learning can, and should, happen everywhere — both within and outside the classroom — REVEL for Psychology by Marin and Hock will let you teach your course the way you’ve always wanted to, and provide the 360º digital learning experience that your students have been waiting for!

NOTE: This Revel Combo Access pack includes a Revel access code plus a loose-leaf print reference (delivered by mail) to complement your Revel experience. In addition to this access code, you will need a course invite link, provided by your instructor, to register for and use Revel.
