For those of you who are looking for additional material for in-class or out, McGraw-Hill/Irwin has developed the Active Classroom Resource Manual, containing cases, exercises, and project ideas (and accompanying Instructor Notes) for nearly every introductory course topic, including economics (supply and demand), ethics and social responsibility (whistle blowing), and entrepreneurship (SWOT Analysis). Many of the exercises were the result of reviewer feedback indicating that they wanted to delve into more difficult introduction to business topics.

CPS (Wireless Classroom Performance System) by eInstruction
Have you ever asked yourself: "How can I measure class participation?" or "How do I encourage class participation?" If so, then CPS might be the product for you. CPS enables you to poll students and record their responses to questions posed on a PowerPoint slide as well as monitor their attendance. CPS also offers a variety of reporting features, including grade books that are easy to export to WebCT or Blackboard. For your students, CPS is as simple as using buttons on a remote control. Questions can be designed by you, or you can choose from a set of 20 per chapter available for the book. Ask your local McGraw-Hill/Irwin Sales Representative how to get CPS for your classroom.
Homework Manager
McGraw-Hill's Homework Manager (MHHM) uses selected problems from video quizzes and chapter quizzes to help students develop problemsolving skills. The students log in to complete the homework assignments and submit them for immediate, automatic grading. Each class has its own unique homepage that contains assignment material specific to the course and instructor. The assignments can be used to determine part of the overall grade your students receive. You control the rules and policies surrounding the assignments, which can range from low-stakes, self-study sessions to homework sessions and high-stakes, proctored exams. When an assignment is published, you determine when it is available to students and establish the due date and grade parameters recorded in the system's grade book. The system provides students with a graded assignment report that can include feedback about incorrect answers and other helpful study information. Ask your local McGraw-Hill/Irwin Sales Representative how to get the optimal package of Homework Manager and related textual material for you and your students.
