Student Success Centre
Reinforcing its commitment to student success, the Larson/Jensen Online Learning Centre has been completely redesigned and redeveloped with the student in mind. Complementing the pedagogy of the text, the Student Success Cycle is now fully integrated into this online resource. Students can review each learning objective and following the steps of the Student Success Cycle, work through self-study quizzes and critical thinking exercises for each learning outcome. Or, they can start at the chapter level and if challenged by a particular concept while completing the quizzes, focus into this specific learning objective using the Student Success Cycle as a guide.
The Centre continues to offer self-study quizzes, a searchable glossary, crossword puzzles to practice key terms for each chapter, Excel Templates for select problems in the text, and additional resources including “Extend Your Knowledge” modules and video segments.
Studying on the Go
Students can study on the go with McGraw-Hill’s course content for the Apple iPod. Our innovative approach allows students to download audio and video presentations directly into their iPod and take learning materials with them wherever they go. Whether it’s in the car, on the train, or waiting between classes—it’s easy to get a quick refresher on key course content and makes review and study time as easy as putting in headphones!

Online Assessment
Lyryx Interactive Financial Accounting (LIFA) is a Web-based assessment tool that has captured the attention of post-secondary schools across the country. By reflecting the classroom environment, LIFA significantly benefits both instructors and students.
Each chapter is broken down into several Lessons; condensed versions of the material in the text.
Each Lesson is supported by a self-correcting Exploration that allows the students to practice the Lesson’s concept. Because these Explorations are algorithmically generated, the students can try them as often as they want and get a different question each time.
Once the students master the Exploration, the instructor can set up a homework assignment, or Lab. These Labs are algorithmically generated and automatically graded, so students get instant feedback. Grades are instantly recorded into a Gradebook that the students and the instructor can view. Less of the instructor’s time is spent on marking, and students get built-in feedback!
LIFA motivates students in two ways: (1) it is tied to assessment, and (2) Labs can be tried as many times as the students wish, with only the best grade being recorded. Instructors know that if students are doing their accounting homework, they will enjoy success. Recent research has shown that when Labs are tied to assessment, even if they are worth only a small percentage of the total grade for the course, students WILL do their homework—and more than once!
