Please join us for a walkthrough of our Control Systems Engineering zyVersion. This zyVersion is based on the 8th edition of the well-known textbook written by author Norman S. Nise

Based on the ninth edition of Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics by Michael J. Moran, Howard N. Shapiro, Daisie D. Boettner, and Margaret B. Bailey, this zyVersion contains the complete text of the original textbook interactive elements to help keep your students engaged.

A Smooth Term & Successful Students

For many computer science and engineering instructors, anxiety and stress are all too familiar feelings. To support our community of zyBooks instructors, we’re exploring the topic of mental health in STEM higher education and raising actionable strategies to help professors overcome burnout.

Join us for a live panel discussion with some of your colleagues in the HBCU computer science instructor community.

Big Java: Late Objects and Big C++: Late Objects

Based on Koretsky’s Engineering and Chemical Thermodynamics textbook, this zyVersion includes over 150 animations and 500+ participation questions that help students engage and interact with the material.

zyBooks utilizes the Say, Show, Ask approach to learning. With less text and more action, students learn through short readings (say), animations (show), and learning questions with answer-specific feedback (ask).

Learn the story behind our acquisition, our plans to convert trusted texts into intuitive and interactive zyVersions, and get a chance to evaluate the new Operating System zyVersion.

Based on Goodrich and Tamassia’s Algorithm Design and Applications 1/e, this zyVersion contains the complete text of the original plus new interactive animations and learning questions to engage the student.

The number of online courses are on the rise and so are the instances of cheating. See how zyBooks’ integrated tools deter and detect academic dishonesty.

Add autograded Coral activities to your CS0 and CS1 course to offer a simple introduction to programming.

Project-based learning offers an authentic and meaningful way to engage your programming students. Join us for a discussion with Dr. Dennis Sigur, Computer Science Instructor at Dillard University

What if you could save an additional 5-10 hours per week, without sacrificing student results in your Computer Science courses?

Let us guess, you’ve never been able to find a textbook that quite fits your course the way you’d like it to. Or, your students lack the basic math skills needed to be successful in your course, but you don’t want to assign a second book to focus on math. Let us show you how we can help.

In this webinar, we will share the current state of research on mental health in undergraduate engineering students, including ongoing research to understand the impact of COVID-19 on student well-being.

Our 10-week programming configurations for online learning + interactive homework + auto-graded labs literally require no setup.

Learn how to teach online classes that students don’t just tolerate, but truly enjoy and thrive in academically.

Gain hours in your week through this efficient, effective, and fun approach to teaching CS. Learn how to minimize course setup and maintenance time.

Many students often feel CS1 and CS2 courses are unnecessarily complex. Join zyBooks’ co-founder, Frank Vahid, as he examines how to re-think programming assignments through “Many Small Programs”, which creates a less overwhelming experience for students.
