What are interactive Texts?

These are ePub editions which we host on a platform that offers a range of options for classroom engagement. 
If you have adopted one of our interactive books, such as those in the Religion in 5 Minutes series, and your institution subscribes to the premium option, you are able to to register as the moderator for the course you will be teaching and exploit the features of the platform. Once authorized in this role, you will be able to create a private annotation group, invite students to join and manage group membership. When engaging with a text, your readers can associate their annotations with those groups of which they are a member. In addition, moderators can develop their own suite of resources from any of the material that is included in their institution’s subscription. All you need to do is identify which chapters, whole books or journal articles that should be included and we will create a unique environment for your course. You can also import non-Equinox material (for which you have permission to do so), such as images, multimedia content, and so forth. Contact us to discuss.
