Overview
You are underway !

This template provides tips for topic development. Gradually remove these suggestions as you develop the chapter. Also consult the author guidelines.

At the top of the chapter, the title and sub-title should match the exact wording and casing as shown in the. The sub-titles all end with a question mark.

This Overview section should be concise but consist of several paragraphs which serve to engage the reader, illustrate the problem, and outline how psychological science can help.

Focus questions:
 * What is the first focus question?
 * What is the second focus question?
 * What is the third focus question?

1st main heading
How you are going to structure the chapter? Aim for three to six main headings between the Overview and Conclusion.

Interactive learning features
What brings an online book chapter to life, compared to an essay, are its interactive learning features. Case studies, feature boxes, figures, links, tables, and quiz questions can be used throughout the chapter.

Case studies
Case studies describe real-world examples of concepts in action. Case studies can be real or fictional. A case could be used multiple times during a chapter to illustrate different theories or stages. It is often helpful to present case studies using feature boxes.

Feature boxes
Feature boxes can be used to highlight content, but don't overuse them. There are many different ways of creating feature boxes (e.g., see Pretty boxes). Possible uses include:
 * Focus questions
 * Case studies or examples
 * Quiz questions
 * Take-home messages


 * Feature box example
 * Shaded background
 * Coloured border

Figures


Use figures to illustrate concepts, add interest, and provide examples. Figures can be used to show photographs, drawings, diagrams, graphs, etcetera. Figures can be embedded throughout the chapter, starting with the Overview section. Figures should be captioned (using a number and a description) in order to explain their relevance to the text. Possible images can be found at Wikimedia Commons. Images can also be uploaded if they are licensed for re-use or if you created the image. Each figure should be referred to at least once in the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).

Links
Where key words are first used, make them into interwiki links such as Wikipedia links to articles about famous people (e.g., Sigmund Freud and key concepts (e.g., dreams) and links to book chapters about related topics (e.g., would you like to learn about how to overcome writer's block?).

Tables
Tables can be an effective way to organise and summarise information. Tables should be captioned (using APA style) to explain their relevance to the text. Plus each table should be referred to at least once in the main text (e.g., see Table 1 and Table 2).

Here are some example 3 x 3 tables which could be adapted:

Table 1.

Table 2.

Table 3.

Quizzes
Quizzes are a direct way to engage readers. But don't make quizzes too hard or long. It is better to have one or two review questions per major section than a long quiz at the end. Try to quiz conceptual understanding, rather than trivia.

Here are some simple quiz questions which could be adapted. Choose the correct answers and click "Submit": {Quizzes are an interactive learning feature: + True - False
 * type=""}

{Long quizzes are a good idea: - True + False
 * type=""}

To learn about different types of quiz questions, see Quiz.

Working notes
It could be useful to have a temporary section for working notes during the topic development and chapter drafting. This section will be ignored when the topic development is marked, but remove it before finalising the book chapter.

Conclusion
The Conclusion is arguably the most important section. It should be possible for someone to read only the Overview and the Conclusion and still get a good idea of the topic.
