How can a digital textbook help me teach?

BookOn digital textbooks provide students with an interactive, multimedia learning environment where photos come to life as videos and illustrations turn into animations. Practice tests and interactive end-of-section and end-of-chapter material provide learner feedback and assessment. Student data is saved in a Tracking File that students can view or print at any time.

But collecting student data is just the start. The crucial factor is making that data available to you, the instructor. The BookOn digital publishing system works with WebTrack to send data from students to instructors with minimal setup or hassle—and at no additional cost.

WebTrack is a free, cross-platform, portable application which runs on Macs or Windows PCs. You can download WebTrack to a Flash drive, which “walks with you.” To download or review student data, just insert that Flash drive into any Mac or Windows computer and run the Mac or Windows version of WebTrack.

With a BookOn digital textbook and WebTrack, instructors get constant updates on student progress. It’s like having a textbook that “phones home” to tell instructors which chapters students have completed and how they’ve scored on the end of chapter material, Labs, and Practice Tests. Instructors get that information early enough to take action to assist students before they fall hopelessly behind. The combination of an interactive textbook with tracking provides a powerful tool to help instructors increase student success.
