Supplements for Instructors

The Second Canadian Edition of Management Information Systems for the Information Age is accompanied by a robust package of supplements for instructor use, created to enhance classroom activities, facilitate student testing, and otherwise augment the tools provided by the text.

Instructor’s Manual
Provided to instructors in an effort to help prepare class presentations. Beyond providing an outline of the chapters and modules and answers to the various projects, exercises, and assignments, the IM includes Concept Reinforcement boxes to guide use of the text’s pedagogy and modules, and facilitate class participation. The IM is available in Word format through the Online Learning Centre at www.mcgrawhill.ca/college/haag.

Computerized Test Bank
Instructors receive special software to select both multiple-choice questions and problems requiring full solutions from the bank of over 2,000 questions tied to the text material. These questions and problems may be selected according to topic and degree of difficulty criteria. Instructors may edit test items and add new questions to the test bank. A printed copy of the test bank is also available upon request from your McGraw-Hill Ryerson i-Learning Sales Specialist.

Online Learning Centre
The Online Learning Centre (OLC) is a Web site that follows the text chapter-by-chapter, with additional materials and quizzing, that enhance the text and classroom experience. As students read the text, they can go online to take self-grading quizzes, link to over 1000 relevant Web sites, access videos and PowerPoints, and work through Skills Learning Modules on Excel, Access, HTML, and e-Portfolios. Instructors and students can access the OLC directly through the text Web site, through PageOut, or within a course management system (e.g. WebCT or Blackboard).

CBC Videos
Two sets of videos are available to instructors using Management Information Systems in the Information Age:

• A complete set of CBC Videos, including segments from The National and UNDERcurrents, offers instructors the opportunity to highlight such topics as paying for privacy, new technology, and more—all for situational analysis in the classroom.
• A set of six Original Videos created to accompany the US edition of the text and keyed to topic areas in the text can be obtained from your i-Learning Sales Specialist.

PageOut
McGraw-Hill’s unique point-and-click course Web site tool enables users to create a full-featured, professional quality course Web site without knowing HTML coding. PageOut is free for instructors, and lets you post your syllabus online, assign McGraw-Hill OLC content, add Web links, and maintain an online grade book. (And if you’re short on time, we even have a team ready to help you create your site.)
