  • Image Library - Text figures and tables, as permission allows, are provided in a format by which they can be imported into PowerPoint for class lectures.
  • Videos - New videos will be downloadable from the instructor side of the OLC. Selections from our archive of MIS videos are also available to adopters.

Online Resources

The Online Learning Center (OLC) is a website that follows the text chapter-by-chapter. OLC content is ancillary and supplementary germane to the textbook, as students read the book, they can go online to take self-grading quizzes, review material, or work through interactive exercises. OLCs can be delivered multiple ways – professors and students can access them directly through the textbook website, through PageOut, or within a course management system (i.e. WebCT, Blackboard, TopClass, or eCollege.)
