Overview

Figure 1. Explore the topic, then develop a structure for the book chapter.

Imagine ... a scenario or case study which illustrates the problem and engages reader interest. Consider including an image (see Figure 1). The scenario could be presented in a feature box.

The Overview is typically 180 to 330 words.

Suggestions for this section: Engage the reader with a scenario, example, or case study, and an accompanying image Explain the problem and why it is important Outline how psychological science can help Present focus questions

Focus questions: Break the problem (see the sub-title) down into three to five focus questions. Focus questions could also be used as top-level headings. What is the first focus question? What is the second focus question? What is the third focus question? Ask open-ended focus questions. For example: Is there a relationship between motivation and success? (closed-ended) What is the relationship between motivation and success? (open-ended)

Main headings

• Aim for three to six main headings between the Overview and Conclusion
• Sub-headings can also be used, but avoid having sections with only one sub-heading

Key points

• Provide at least 3 bullet-points per heading, including for the Overview and Conclusion
• Include key citations

Learning features

• Interactive learning features bring online book chapters to life and can be embedded throughout the chapter.

Case studies

• Case studies describe real-world examples of concepts in action.
• Case studies can be real or fictional.
• A case study could be split into multiple sections throughout a chapter to illustrate different theories or stages.
• It is often helpful to present case studies using feature boxes.

Feature boxes

• Important content can be highlighted in a feature box. But don't overuse feature boxes, otherwise they lose their effect. There are several ways of creating boxes. Recommended: Pretty boxes).
• Consider using feature boxes for:
  • Focus questions
  • Case studies or examples
  • Quiz questions
  • Take-home messages

A very simple box can be created by using a space at the start of the line

Figures

Figure 2. Example of an image with a descriptive caption.

• Use figures to illustrate concepts, add interest, and to serve as examples
• Figures can show photos, diagrams, graphs, etcetera
• Figures can be embedded throughout the chapter, including the Overview section
• Figures should be captioned (using Figure #. and a description). Captions explain the relevance of the image to the text/
• Wikimedia Commons provides a library of embeddable images
• Images can also be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons if they are openly licensed
• Refer to each figure at least once in the main text (e.g., see Figure 2)

Links

• When key words are introduced, use interwiki links
• These links can go to:
  • Wikipedia (e.g., Sigmund Freud wrote about (e.g., dreams) or
  • Related book chapters (e.g., if your are struggling, you might be interested to read the chapter about writer's block)

Tables

• Use tables to organise and summarise information
• As with figures, tables should be captioned (e.g., see Table 1)
• Refer to each table at least once in the main text (e.g., see Table 1)
• Example 3 x 3 tables which could be adapted

Known to others	Open area	Blind spot
Not known to others	Hidden area	Unknown

Quizzes

• Using one or two review questions per major section is usually better than a long quiz at the end
• Quiz conceptual understanding, rather than trivia
• Don't make quizzes too hard
• Different types of quiz questions are possible; see Quiz

Example simple quiz questions. Choose your answers and click "Submit":

1 Quizzes are an interactive learning feature:

	True
	False

2 Long quizzes are a good idea:

	True
	False

Conclusion

• The Conclusion is arguably the most important section
• The Conclusion is typically 150 to 330 words
• What are the take-home messages likely to be?
• It should be possible for someone to only read the Overview and the Conclusion and still get a good idea of the problem and what is known based on psychological science

Suggestions for this section: What is the answer to the sub-title question based on psychological theory and research? What are the answers to the focus questions? What are the practical, take-home messages?
