Editorial Reviews

Teaching Exploraciones without iLrn would be like using an old flip cell phone when you could be using a smart phone. It just makes more sense in the world we livein to give students access to a great piece of technology that helps their learning.

[The instructors ] enthusiasm for particular elements in the book and in iLrn —and the knowledge that they can teach the way they want — improves the teaching experience, the class environment, and the learning experience.
