NortonAI is a new feature in select Norton Illumine ebooks that boosts student engagement and understanding with personalized, self-directed practice and reading support—grounded in your textbook’s trusted content.
How to use Smart Highlight
If NortonAI is an available feature in your Norton Illumine ebook, you can use the Smart Highlight functionality.
After highlighting the relevant section, you will see two NortonAI options: Rephrase and Give an Example.
- The Rephrase option offers alternative wording for the selected text to support understanding, while maintaining the original meaning.
- Give an Example provides a real-world or specific example to help students understand the highlighted text.
Select the option that you’d like to use, and NortonAI will generate the rephrased wording or present an example in the NortonAI panel at the left side of the screen.
You can ask NortonAI to try again and give it feedback to NortonAI to refine the rephrasing or examples.
How to use Practice Mode
At any point in your reading, you can ask NortonAI to provide Practice Questions on the current section or on the full chapter.
Click “NortonAI” in the lefthand toolbar of Norton Illumine.
Then “Start Practicing” at the bottom of the NortonAI panel.
Select whether you’d like to practice questions from the full chapter or the current section
Every practice question includes the following features:
- Confidence Sliders that help NortonAI personalize the practice questions based on your confidence.
- Practice Performance reports that display your current practice progress. Your progress resets when you sign out of Norton Illumine.
- A link back to the relevant section of the book, so it’s simple to go back and read more.
- The ability to navigate through the chapter to easily practice questions on specific topics or sections.
- And at any point, you can exit practice mode and return to the ebook by clicking the exit button in the top right corner of the screen.
When you check your answer to a NortonAI practice question, you will receive answer-specific feedback.
Since NortonAI is designed for practice and self-study, you can attempt to answer the question again or skip to another question.
Can instructors assign NortonAI for points? Can they see how students are performing on these questions?
No, NortonAI is meant to be a self-study tool for you to study and practice without the pressure of a grade or observation.
What guardrails are in place to protect students’ privacy when they use NortonAI?
NortonAI is designed so that no personally identifiable information (PII) is shared when you use the feature within Norton Illumine. Our systems are built to keep data secure and confidential, ensuring your privacy is protected throughout their experience.
