Online Learning Center

This web site located at http://www.mhhe.com/earthsci/geography/getis8e hosts instructor and student tools. The instructor's material is password protected and offers topics for classroom discussion, provides approximately 70 test questions for each chapter, PowerPoint lecture outlines, and highlights the main ideas of each chapter. The complete Instructor's Manual is available at this site.

Students will find online quizzing, exercises, and simulations that will enhance the text material and offer a thorough review of the content. The Student Study Guide is posted to the Online Learning Center for students to access at no charge.

PowerWeb

Included within the Online Learning Center, PowerWeb is password protected and provides access to a course-specific website developed with the help of instructors teaching the course to provide instructors and students with curriculum-based materials, updated weekly assessments, informative and timely world news, refereed web links and much more. You'll get daily news updates and have access to 5,900 research sources through the internet's most thorough search tool, Northern Light. This differs from the Online Learning Center in that it extends the learning experience beyond the core textook content into other subject areas. PowerWeb is designed to supplement the text content by offering outside readings, research opportunities, and more. You and your students will find a passcode card included with every new textbook. Use this passcode to register for access to PowerWeb.
