• provides faster, easier access to information
• is more effective in helping students learn facts and concepts than standard text materials
• provides a clear advantage for retrieving information from textual materials
• reflects student focus groups’ preferences for receiving information.

Student textbooks come with a Student CD that includes video clips, optional material, anatomy/physiology, a quick reference guide, and reminder cards.

Instructor manuals feature lesson maps: Lessons presented in a color-coded "map" format that allows instructors to see objectives of the lessons, instructor and student roles, and other key information.

• Greatly expanded agendas help ensure that all learning objectives get covered.
• Printed on durable, tear-resistant paper that stands up to frequent use.
