Stay afloat with the Marine Biology Online Learning Center!
The Marine Biology Online Learning Center offers a wealth of learning and teaching aids for instructors and students. Instructors will appreciate a password protected Instructor’s Manual, a PowerPoint image library containing all the art and photos for the text, laboratory exercises, and more. Students will benefit from interactive quizzing, key terms flashcards, and web links. Also included are underwater video clips, featuring footage of marine animals, their behaviors, and ecosystems.
Digital Content Manager CD-ROM/DVD
This useful tool contains all of the illustrations, photographs, and tables from the text for use in multimedia presentations. Also included are video segments from Scripps Institute of
Technology, along with additional marine biology videoclips and photographs.
Instructor’s Manual
Prepared by Peter Castro, this helpful ancillary provides chapter outlines and summaries, a listing of audiovisuals and software, and answers to the Critical Thinking questions within the text. Instructors will also find suggestions on presenting concepts to students and organizing materials for class presentation. The Instructor’s Manual can be accessed via the password protected portion of the Marine Biology Online Learning Center as well as the Instructor’s Testing & Resource CD-ROM.
Instructor’s Testing & Resource CD-ROM
This cross platform CD-ROM includes an Instructor’s Manual and test bank utilizing McGraw-Hill’s EZ Test software. EZ Test is a flexible and easy-to-use electronic testing program

use the test questions provided by McGraw-Hill, add their own questions, create multiple
versions of a test, and export tests for use with course management systems such as WebCT,
BlackBoard or PageOut. For those instructors who prefer to work outside the test-generator
software, the Instructor’s Manual and test bank are also available in Word and PDF formats.
