FOR INSTRUCTORSDigital Content Manager (DCM Product Tour (336.0K))
This multimedia collection of visual resources allows instructors to utilize artwork from the text in multiple formats to create customized classroom presentations, visually based tests and quizzes, dynamic course website content, or attractive printed support materials. The digital assets on this cross-platform CD-ROM are grouped by chapter within easy-to-use folders.
Art Library Full-color digital files of all illustrations in the book, plus grayscale versions of the same artwork, are housed in the Art Library. These files can be readily incorporated into lecture presentations, exams, or custom-made classroom materials.
Photo Library The Photo Library contains digital files of instructionally significant photographs from the text, which can be reproduced for multiple classroom uses.
Table Library Every table that appears in the text is saved in electronic form.
PowerPoint The Digital Content Manager supplies two types of PowerPoint files for each of the 20 chapters of the text. PowerPoint Lectures are ready-made lecture presentations that combine art with lecture outlines. These lectures can be used as they are, or can be tailored to reflect your preferred lecture topics and sequences. PowerPoint Image Slides present all art, photos, and tables from each chapter pre-inserted into blank PowerPoint slides for ease of use.
In addition to the content found within each chapter, the Digital Content Manager for Human Physiology contains the following multimedia instructional materials.
Active Art Library Active Art consists of art files that have been converted to a format that allows the artwork to be edited inside of Microsoft PowerPoint. Each piece of art inside an Active Art presentation can be broken down to its core elements, grouped or ungrouped, and edited to create customized illustrations.
Animations Library Numerous full-color animations illustrating physiological processes are provided. Harness the visual impact of processes in motion by importing these files into classroom presentations or online course materials.
Instructor’s Testing and Resource CD-ROM (Brownstone demo (376.0K))
This cross-platform CD-ROM provides a wealth of resources for the instructor. Supplements featured on this CD-ROM include a computerized test bank utilizing Brownstone Diploma® testing software to quickly create customized exams. This user-friendly program allows instructors to search for questions by topic, format, or difficulty level; edit existing questions or add new ones; and scramble questions and answer keys for multiple versions of the same test. Word files of the test bank are included for those instructors who prefer to work outside of the test-generator software.
Other assets on the Instructor’s Testing and Resource CD-ROM include the Instructor’s Manual, Instructor’s Manual for Laboratory Guide, Student Study Guide, and answers to the end-of-chapter questions from the text.
Transparencies
This exhaustive set of 350 transparency overheads includes key pieces of line art from the textbook. Images are printed with better visibility and contrast than ever before, and labels are large and bold for clear projection.
Laboratory Manual
The Laboratory Guide to Human Physiology: Concepts and Clinical Applications, Tenth Edition, by Stuart I. Fox, is self-contained so students can prepare for laboratory exercises and quizzes without having to bring the textbook to the laboratory. The introduction to each exercise contains cross-references to the pages in this textbook where related information can be found. Similarly, those figures in the lab manual that correspond to full-color figures in the textbook are also cross-referenced. Both of these mechanisms help students better integrate the lecture and laboratory portions of their course. The manual provides laboratory exercises, classroom tested for a number of years, that reinforce many of the topics covered in this textbook and in the human physiology course.
Online Learning Center (OLC)
The Human Physiology Online Learning Center at www.mhhe.com/fox8 is a comprehensive website created for instructors and students using the Fox textbook. The Online Learning Center allows instructors complete access to all student features, as well as exclusive access to a separate Instructor Center that houses downloadable and printable versions of traditional ancillaries, plus additional instructor content. Contact your McGraw-Hill sales representative for your instructor user name and password.
Course Delivery Systems (WebCT Blackboard Pageout (980.0K))
With help from our partners WebCT, Blackboard, Top-Class, eCollege, and other course management systems, professors can take complete control over their course content. Course cartridges containing Online Learning Center content, online testing, and powerful student tracking features are readily available for use within these platforms.
