Features and benefits
■eBook: Just like the printed text, students can highlight and add their own notes. Students save time and improve results by having access to their book online.

■Gradebook: Students can follow their own progress and instructors can monitor the work of the entire class. Automated grading of quizzes and assignments helps both instructors and
students save time and monitor their results throughout the course.

■Closer Look Tours: These interactive walkthroughs offer an in-depth look at key works of art, enabling students to zoom in to see detail they couldn’t otherwise see on the printed page or even in person. Enhanced with expert audio, they help students understand the meaning and message behind the work of art.

■Image and Term Flashcards: These helpful study tools offer all the benefits of traditional flashcards in a more dynamic, printable online format. Every image in the textbook is represented on a flashcard, providing students with a comprehensive, customizable quizzing collection.

■MyArtsLibrary: MyArtsLibrary offers access to more than 100 key primary sources and documents from the history of art. Each source or document is accompanied by a brief headnote and assignable short answer questions that are ideal for building students’ critical thinking skills.

■Studio Technique Videos: Many instructors would love the opportunity to take their students into a studio to watch a real artist at work, but this is often not practical or possible. These videos show real-life artists at work and give students an up-close experience of watching an artist at work in order to understand a wide variety of techniques used by artists throughout time.
■Writing Resources: MyArtsLab includes a wealth of writing resources to help art appreciation or art history students analyze and write about works of art. These writing resources include the following:

■Writing Guides on five different types of assignments from a compare-and-contrast paper to a museum paper

■MySearchLab: Pearson's MySearchLab™ is the easiest way for students to start a research assignment or paper - including extensive help on the research process and four databases of credible and reliable source material.

■Google Maps: Exploration activities using Google Earth technology—concluding in quiz questions that automatically populate a gradebook for instructors—allow students to see more than 100 key works of art in their global context.
