Located under the library tab under instructor resources within Connect Business Communication, instructors can locate specific materials to enhance their courses. All of the following can be accessed within the Management Asset Gallery in Connect:

• Manager's Hot Seat—This interactive, video-based application puts students in the manager's hot seat, builds critical thinking and decision-making skills, and allows students to apply concepts to real managerial challenges. Students watch as 15 real managers apply their years of experience when confronting unscripted issues such as bullying in the workplace, cyber loafing, globalization, intergenerational work conflicts, workplace violence, and leadership versus management.

Self-Assessment Gallery—Unique among publisher-provided self-assessments, our 23 self-assessments give students background information to ensure they understand the purpose of the assessment. Students test their values, ethics, beliefs, and interests, allowing them to personally apply chapter content to their own lives and careers. Every self-assessment is supported with PowerPoints and an instructor manual, making it easy for instructors to create an engaging classroom discussion surrounding the assessments
