Instructor’s Supplements:

Instructor’s OLC
All supplements will be available exclusively on the OLC. This will allow the authors to continually update and add to the instructor support materials. The following materials will be available on the OLC:

    • EZ Test: To help instructors meet the requirements of AACSB, all questions have been tied to the Learning Outcomes in the text.
    • PowerPoints: eBDIS offers two sets of traditional PowerPoint slides – one for instructors and one for students. The instructor edition comes complete with detailed teaching notes on each slide that offers discussion topics, classroom questions, and instructor points.
    • Additional Material PowerPoints: eBDIS also offers PowerPoint slides on additional lecture material. If you want to walk your students through NetFlix’ supply chain or Eddie Bauer’s customer relationship management there are 10 additional sets of slides focusing on extra material.
    • Instructor’s Manual: In addition to in-depth coverage of chapter content, the authors have provided many engaging classroom exercises that challenge students to apply the material they are learning. For example, if you are teaching systems development start off the class with the “Skyscraper Activity” where the students build a prototype that takes them through each phase of the systems development life cycle. If you are working on tying information technology to business begin your class with the “Magazine Exercise” where students place Post-It Notes on technology articles in popular business magazines clearly demonstrating that technology is everywhere in business.
    • Captivate Files: A complete set of narrated solution files for all Excel, Access, and Web development projects. These files provide narrated step-by-step detail for each project. These are a great aid to help instructors quickly understand questions and can be posted for students to review, saving Instructor time with case reviews.
    • Videos: New videos will be downloadable from the instructor side of the OLC.
