• Chapter One Feature Roadmap student orientation/sets the stage We know, you know it: Students don't read the preface. Larson/Jensen sports a blockbuster package of learning support and pedagogical features - but the students don't read the preface, so they don't realize what they’ve got! Now we have changed the layout of chapter one to introduce the pedagogical features as they are first encountered in the text. They see, they understand, they learn - that means student success!
• High Interest Chapter Openers More that 60% of these are new and completely re-imagined and researched. As always, they are student-oriented, entrepreneurial and reflect the real business environment. Each chapter opens with a realistic small business scenario that is referred to throughout the chapter. These vignettes set the stage and link the chapter content to the real world.
• Real World focus is further expanded with real source documents, an OLC case study and Financial Statements from WestJet and Leon's.
• Problem Material Problem material, in terms of scope, variety and chapter correlation is unsurpassed. This edition contains more than 40% new and revised end of chapter items, representing a solid progression from single-dimension quick study exercises to complex, multi-dimensional problems. 150 new problems support core accounting concepts and other topics including corporations, periodic inventory and ratios.
• In response to strong market desire, two new problem types have been introduced: Ethics Challenge provides exposure to relevant ethical issues and Focus on Financial Statements acts as a capstone question so that students can bring their knowledge of accounting concepts to bear on the big picture of understanding financial statements.
• Extend Your Knowledge icon has been included as a response to a faculty call for a "back-to-basics," streamlined approach to teaching accounting principles. Text users seeking more information on high level or peripheral topics now have direct links to the OLC for more information and study.
• Cross-referencing feature has been adapted to be less intrusive, yet is still provides reinforcement of key concepts/terms by referring students back to the page where the most important discussion takes place.
• Superior supplements and technology package has been extensively revised and expanded to support the widest range of student and instructor needs, and both traditional and technology-enhanced classrooms. While Larson's focus is on Fundamental Principles of Accounting, the 11e has taken support to another level, with the most innovative, learner and teacher-centered ancillary package on the market:

1. The 11e boasts a robust OLC with class-tested premium content including Flash learning objects (for PC and PDA devices) and interactive explorations that create a unique learning experience for students.
2. With GradeSummit and Lyryx, students have 24-7 tutorial support and the opportunity to assess and improve their study habits to achieve enhanced course success.
3. Faculty have new options to integrate technology into the classroom, supported by the tools they need to get there, including a new 'Integrator' manual that shows how the pieces fit together in the context of financial accounting

• Lyryx Interactive Financial Accounting (LIFA) this unique online experience is leading to increased student engagement and success in Introductory Financial Accounting classes across the country. LIFA is a web-based interactive learning experience and diagnostic assessment tool that takes teaching and learning financial accounting to a new level with Lessons, Explorations and Labs that are integrated with the Larson text content and problem material.
• Larson's Wireless Study and Learning Resources give you a true competitive edge in the mobile learning market, keeping pace with an increasingly mobile population and pushing aside the boundaries of teaching and learning with technology. Users of wireless PDAs and laptops can access Larson in and beyond the classroom, with unique new features including Interactive OLC Quizzes, Flash Learning Objects, PowerWeb-to-Go and the already popular TetrAccounting Game.

• A clear, comprehensive, and technically accurate approach to Fundamental Accounting Principles Larson has been the market leader for over a decade for a reason! The 11th edition has strengthened its clear presentation, accessible writing style, market-driven topical coverage, and continues to place tremendous importance on quality control.
• Demand for a market-driven text the 10th and now 11th editions have benefited from a superior research & development process, resulting the most market-driven text in the industry. Extensive reviewer feedback, including multiple consultations with over 150 reviewers, has driven content and pedagogy revisions, resulting in a text that fits today’s curriculum and classroom needs.
