Understanding the time pressures placed on
instructional staff, we strive to provide a complete and efficient
teaching and learning solution.
Instructor
Resource Kits
McGraw-Hill is committed to providing you with the most effective
teaching resources available. The Instructor Resource Kits (available in
print and on CD) provide instructors with all of the ancillary material
needed to teach an applications software course. Included in the resources
are:
Instructor's Manual:
This resource provides solutions to the short answer questions, hands-on
exercises, and case problems that appear at the end of each chapter.
There are also teaching tips, classroom strategies, and additional quiz
questions and hands-on exercises. Student Data Files:
Students require data files to complete the hands-on examples and
exercises in each tutorial. These data files may be downloaded from the
web or copied from the instructor's CD. Diploma by Brownstone:
This network testing solution is the most flexible, powerful, and
easy-to-use computerized testbank available. In addition to a
full-featured automated grade book program, the Diploma system allows
professors to create exams for printing, LAN delivery, and Web
delivery. PowerPoint Presentations:
Instructor presentations, developed using Microsoft PowerPoint and other
software tools, are available for several of our software tutorials.
Check the Web regularly for updates! Digital Images of Figures:
One of the strengths of our software tutorials is the print-based
representation of screen figures. We've now converted these figures for
several of our books and you can use them in your classrooms
immediately. Check the Web regularly for updates!
Skills
Assessment
McGraw-Hill offers two innovative skills assessment systems, ATLAS and
SimNet, that can be used with the Advantage Series.
ATLAS: ATLAS, for
Active Testing and Learning Assessment Software, is our live
"in-the-application" skills assessment tool. You
are given tasks to complete in Office 2000 and ATLAS watches your
keystrokes and then grades the results. ATLAS is Web-enabled and
customizable to meet the needs of your course. SimNet: SimNet, for
Simulated Network Assessment, enables you to test for specific software
skills in Office XP, 2000, and Office 97. Using a simulated
environment (not the real Office applications), SimNet grades
a student's progress through a series of tasks.
Digital
Solutions
There are several digital solutions available to fit your instructional
needs. These include but are not limited to the following:
PageOut Lite: This
resource allows instructors to create their own basic Web sites which
are then hosted by McGraw-Hill. PageOut Lite includes three basic
templates that automatically convert typed material into HTML pages.
Using PageOut Lite, instructors can set up a Home page, Web links, and a
basic course syllabus with lecture notes. PageOut: The
full-featured PageOut system
includes all the features of the Lite version, but also enables
instructors to create an interactive syllabus with some course
management features. OLC Web Sites: The
Online Learning Centers (OLCs), accessible through the IT
Supersite, provide additional teaching and learning resources from
our publisher. MHLA Web Site: MHLA,
for McGraw-Hill Learning Architecture,
is a complete course delivery system. Besides giving professors
ownership over their digital content, MHLA helps you to create and
manage online delivery, online quizzing, student collaboration, course
administration, and content management.
