Interactive Psychology: People in Perspective is the first online textbook for introductory psychology that was conceived and built as an immersive, interactive online learning experience. Whether students read and work with this ebook on their phone, tablet or laptop, Interactive Psychology will help them succeed in their psychology course. Studies have shown that students who use interactive ebooks spend significantly more time on the text's practice materials than students who use printed textbooks and students who test themselves frequently achieve better grades in their courses (Sommers, Shin, Greenebaum, Merker, & Sanders, 2019). Interactive Psychology embraces that research to improve student learning through interactive explorations, compelling videos, dynamic maps and graphs, and Check Your Understanding questions at the end of each study unit. With Interactive Psychology students learn psychology by doing psychology.

Introduction to psychology is an important course in the psychology curriculum because it serves as a gateway to the major and, for most undergraduates, is the only psychology course they will ever take. This edited, up-to-date guide presents insights that help educators address challenges of coverage, integration of active learning opportunities, and ever-evolving educational technologies. The book features current scholarship and pedagogical practices regarding the teaching of introductory psychology in face-to-face, online, or hybrid environments. The editors achieve their goals through an unusual approach: inviting experienced and expert teachers of introductory psychology to describe an ongoing theme that provides structure and unity to the gateway course. Themes include broad frameworks (e.g., problem-based learning), "big ideas" that integrate course content (e.g., subjectivity of human experience), or particular skills and ways of thinking (e.g., quantitative reasoning).
