Online Learning Centres - how
can they help me study?
Online Learning Centres content
varies depending upon the book and subject you are studying from
but here are some of the features you might find ...
and did we mention you get FREE access to all of this when
you buy a new textbook!
Chapter quizzes help
you to assess your understanding of a subject and if you get the
answers wrong, they direct you back to the relevant part of the
textbook so you can swot up.
Video clips and case studies
help to put theory into context so you understand why it's so
important to learn all the nitty gritty details and how you can
apply what you've learnt in the real world.
Links to carefully chosen
websites make research on the web a much easier task ... your
essays will be finished far quicker than if you trawl through
a quirky search engine's results!
Access to NetTutor. Is a sticky problem causing
you sleepless nights? e-mail NetTutor with your question and a
tutor will give you guidance about how to solve it ... don't expect
them to give you the answer on a plate though!
Access to current news articles
and research papers through PowerWeb
keep the text right up-to-date with developments.
Other features an OLC may
contain include enhancement chapters that contain extra information
so if you're particularly interested in a certain subject, there's
more in-depth information at your finger tips. Having a hard time
pronouncing certain scientific terms? Check out the Audio Glossary!
Flashcards let you check your comprehension of words and terms.
