Infos

Revel™ is Pearson’s newest way of delivering our respected content. Fully digital and highly engaging, Revel replaces the textbook and gives students everything they need for the course. Informed by extensive research on how people read, think, and learn, Revel is an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience — for less than the cost of a traditional textbook.

Marin and Hock’s Psychology engages your students in a 360 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, Psychology harnesses the best available interactive, active-reading technology to put teaching and learning at the centre.

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’ Your Turn 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.
