Open and navigate the Pearson eText

You may be able to extend your eText access before or after the course ends. This access is to the eText only, not the course. This renewal feature is not available from an LMS course, such as Canvas or Blackboard.

1. Sign in to Pearson MyLab and Mastering to open the My Courses page.
2. Select Renew your Pearson eText access from the course tile. If the course has ended, select Inactive to view past courses.

   Don’t see the option to renew eText access? Check back later. The option should appear by the start of the next term.

   

3. Complete the transaction.

The eText is screen reader accessible, although some content may be inaccessible.

• For more information, open the eText, select  (top right), About, and then Accessibility.

• An  Audio Player option is available in some eTexts.

The Pearson eText app is for smartphones and tablets. After you download your book from the app over the Internet, the eText is available on your mobile device—even when WiFi is unavailable.

Your instructor can modify the table of contents to more closely follow your course. For example, some chapters may appear out of book sequence or under “Optional materials” at the end of the Contents. (Does not apply to PDF eTexts.)

1. Select  (top left) then , if the Contents is not already active.
2. To show the Contents at maximum width, select .
3. Select a chapter or section name to open it. To view sections within a chapter, select .

   The Contents pane closes so you can see the book content at full width.

Quick View lets you scan surrounding pages in a chapter, while keeping track of your current location. It can help you quickly refer back to some material or to scan ahead, like flipping through print book pages.

The Quick View feature is available for select titles only. When available, the Quick View control appears in the lower left of a book page.

1. Select  from a book location to open Quick View on the left.

   Each chapter section appears as a single object in Quick View. The blue highlight indicates your current location in the book.

   

2. Select another section to open it for scrolling. To investigate something, like to play audio or video, select the content.
3. Select  to widen or narrow Quick View.
4. Select to close Quick View and return to your original content.

1. Select   then .
2. Select a location under “Recently visited” or select a bookmark. If you’ve added bookmarks, these are listed below any “Recently visited” locations.
   • Recently visited — Shows up to 3 eText locations you visited within the same session.

   • Bookmarks — Appear in chapter order with the option.

Search by page number — Enter the page number in the Search box, such as page 32. You may need to choose from several result matches, like Page 32 and Page 320.

Enter page number (PDF eTexts only) — If the current page number appears at the top of the page, you can also enter a different page number to switch to that print page.

• In some eTexts, select the previous or next arrow at the top of the page. (Applies to PDF eTexts.)
• In other eTexts, the print book page number appears in the left margin as you scroll. (Selecting the previous or next arrows along the sides takes you to the previous or next chapter section.)

Select a figure/table, audio/video, glossary term, or other link to open or play it from your current context.
