1.1 Basics
Participation activities
In a zyBook, a participation activity (PA) is an activity used in the initial learning of a topic. A PA is a more engaging way of reading. As one
student put it, “It’s like the material is working with me, rather than talking to me.” Anyone can get all PA points just by participating (hence
the name).
PA’s are labeled and numbered as: “Participation Activity 1.1.1”. A zyBook records student completion of each PA. An instructor may provide
course points for completing PA’s. Completing means:
Learning questions: Eventually entering a correct answer.
Animations: Watching all steps in their entirety.
Tools: Interacting with the tool; some tools require reaching “done”.
Learning questions have no penalty if a student answers wrong the Rrst time (or multiple times) or if a student shows themselves the
answer.
Some answers involve typing text like x + 1 or a number like 20. The tool that checks correctness uses text matching (rather than
expression evaluation) to enable convenient use on various platforms with varying Internet access. Supporting all possible (non-standard)
answers isn’t usually practical. Following instructions carefully helps. If a student thinks an answer is correct but isn’t being accepted, the
student can just click “Show answer”.
Extremely fast clicking through activities, always clicking “Show answer” before answering, or Rrst typing bogus answers, are easily
detectable. Most students really try the activities, which are designed to help. Feedback is excellent, and research shows students learn
from such activities (research summaries). About 90% of students earnestly attempt the PA’s, realizing PA’s are effective and respect
student time (SIGCSE 2017 paper).
Viewing PA completion in a section
PA completion can be viewed by the Rlled-in icons next to each activity.
Viewing PA completion for entire sections
Students can also check section-level activity completion status at a zyBook’s “Home/TOC”, which is accessed from within a zyBook by
clicking the zyBook’s name at the top.
If you are completing zyBook activities in another browser tab, you may have to reload the Home/TOC page to see updated activity
completion.
Returning to a section: Previous answers intentionally aren’t shown
When a student leaves and then returns to a section, the system intentionally does not show previous answers to learning questions. That
way, students can redo a section to help better learn the material. Research shows that approach is better for learning (one article
discussing such research).
The completion icons on the side remain Rlled in, though, so students can know what PA’s have already been completed.
Feedback
Use the “Feedback” links throughout the material to let us know what was helpful and what could be improved. The feedback links appear
throughout the material; if one doesn’t exist for an item you’d like to report on, just Rnd the closest one and explain what item you’re
referring to. Our authoring team reviews such feedback a couple times each year, which helps guide updates/improvements to the material.
Errors: While all material goes through a review process, if you Rnd an error, please let us know by selecting “My feedback describes a
possible content or technical error” when submitting feedback. Your feedback then goes straight to our support team as a “support ticket”.
The team typically responds within a day (usually in less than an hour, especially during California working hours), and often Rxes issues in
the live zyBook right away.

PARTICIPATION
ACTIVITY 1.1.1: Participation activities.
1) A small point deduction applies if a participation activity’s question is
not answered correctly the Rrst time.
2) Clicking “Show answer” means no points can later be gained for this
question.
3) When a participation activity’s question is answered, an explanation
appears. Such explanations can usually be skipped.
4) Answering a question, even incorrectly, counts as completing the
question.
5) Animations can be completed by clicking on each step, but not
necessarily watching each step entirely.
