EXPERIENCE THE LEARNING

Visualizing Environmental Science integrates meaningful visuals and multimedia with the text to engage students, increase retention, and improve learning. This educational program stands out from all others because of these powerful elements:

RESEARCH BASED
Research shows that students learn better from integrated text and visuals than from either medium on its own. Visualizing Environmental Science is based on decades of research on the impact visuals have on learning. Visuals and text work together in ways that clarify and reinforce major concepts.

UNIQUE PEDAGOGY
Visualizing Environmental Science wraps clear, concise text around hundreds of photos and well-designed illustrations, diagrams, and charts. This visual approach helps students learn more effectively, links text and visuals to what is familiar, and presents complex information in a more efficient manner.

IMPROVES STUDENT LEARNING
SEG Research conducted a national, multi-site study of students enrolled in introductory-level college courses. The findings indicate that students who used a Wiley Visualizing title, including both print and online resources, made significantly greater gains in content-area knowledge and skills and had higher retention over the course of the semester as compared to students using competing textbooks and accompanying multimedia (SEG Research, 2010)*.
