LaunchPad contains resources for you and your students. In this tutorial, we'll take a
detailed look at both types separately. Let's begin with student resources. Click here to
go to the landing page of LaunchPad for Psychology.
What resources are available for my students?
From your LaunchPad home page, click Resources, then Content by Type. You'll see a list of all the
resources available to your students. We'll now take a closer look at each.
Page 1
Concept Practice
Tutorial style animation and interactive activities designed by award-winning multimedia author, Thomas
Ludwig. These cover a range of key topics and include assessment questions that are interactive and
engaging. These activities help students solidify their understanding of key concepts.
Page 2
Critical Thinking Exercises
Short answer exercises that promote Critical Thinking and test students knowledge of various concepts
in the text.
Page 3
e-Book
LaunchPad’s e-Book integrates the text with an assortment of media-powered learning tools, and a
variety of customization options for students and instructors. Worth’s acclaimed e-Book platform was
developed by a cognitive psychologist (PhD, Yale University) who taught undergraduate psychology at
the University of Massachusetts.

Flashcards
To make sure students understand the language of the course, virtual flashcards are available for every
key term. Students can view these in stack mode, table mode, definitions shown, terms shown, or use
quiz mode to test themselves.
Immersive Learning Activities by Hockenbury/Nolan
Developed for Psychology by co-authors Susan Nolan and Sandy Hockenbury, each digital activity
provides students with the opportunity to apply their critical thinking and scientific thinking skills. These
active learning exercises combine video, audio, text, and assessment to help students hone and master

scientific literacy skills they will use well beyond the introductory course. In these activities, students will
be invited to critically explore questions they encounter in everyday life, such as “Can you learn to tell
when someone is lying?” and “Are some people ‘left-brained’ and some people ‘right-brained’?”
These activities employ a simple four-step model introduced in the new Critical Thinking box “How to
Think Like a Scientist” in Chapter 1. These four steps include:
1. Identify the Claim
2. Evaluate the Evidence
3. Consider Alternative Explanations
4. Consider the Source of the Research or Claim

Labs
LaunchPad’s PsychInvestigator Labs provide students with a web-based virtual laboratory with a live
host who interacts with students as they participate in experiments or observational activities, generate
real data, analyze data against national data, and review the broader implications of those findings in
psychological science.

LearningCurve
Developed in light of the latest advances in learning research, LearningCurve’s game-like adaptive
quizzing is available for every chapter or module of the text.
LearningCurve provides a unique learning path for each student, with quizzes shaped by each
individual’s correct and incorrect answers. The less a student knows about a topic, the more
LearningCurve focuses on it. And the better a student does, the more difficult the questions become.
Feedback for each question includes live links to e-Book pages relevant to the topic at hand, guiding
students to the reading they need to do to address areas that are giving them difficulty.
Because LearningCurve is a formative assessment and not graded on a A-F scale, many instructors
have found it to be an ideal source for pre-lecture assignments, with students coming to class more
prepared to participate. LearningCurve is equally effective when used as a post-lecture review.
Instructors have also found that making LearningCurve a small percentage of the overall grade further
incentivizes students to take advantage of it when preparing for class.

Summative Quizzes
Every chapter offers a pre-built chapter quiz drawn from pools of questions for each section of the text.
Students can take the quiz multiple times for practice and receive different sets questions on the same
topic. This also allows instructors to use these quizzes for higher stakes as each attempt will offer
differing questions on similar material.

Topic Tutorial Quizzes
These quizzes are multiple choice questions that address the concepts presented in the PsychSim 6.0
tutorials.

Topic Tutorials
PsychSim 6.0 is thoroughly re‑imagined and retooled for the mobile web. The new release of PsychSim
by Thomas Ludwig uses interactive videos, charts, and simulations to immerse students in the world of
psychological research, placing them in the role of scientist or participant in activities that highlight
important concepts, processes, and experimental approaches.

Video Activities
Worth’s videos span the full range of standard topics for the introductory psychology course, combining
both research and news footage from Scientific American, BBC Motion Library, CBS News, and other
sources. Our expansive collection of brief clips give students a fresh new way to experience the classic
experiments at the heart of psychological science and cutting-edge research conducted by the field’s
most influential investigators. The videos bring the concepts in the book to life and make the content
more memorable.

Videos
There are a variety of video clips (with assessment) available to accompany the text, highlighting
fundamental research, intriguing case studies, and high-impact news events.
