Instructor Resources
In the Faculty Lounge, professors can communicate with each other in private chat rooms that are password protected, as are all of the features included in Faculty Resources. The Faculty Lounge also consists of a Teaching Archive, complete with numerous teaching resources from professors throughout the world, enabling instructors to share tips, techniques, academic papers, and sample sylllabi.
Teachers can also network with each other via chat rooms such as the Talk to the Team room, and the Internet Skills and Computer Help room.
Every Companion Website integrates Syllabus Manager, an online syllabus creation and management utility. Syllabus Manager provides instructors with an easy, step-by-step process to create and revise syllabi, with direct links into Companion Website and other on-line content. Changes you make to your syllabus are immediately available to your students at their next login.
Your students need only know the Web address for the Companion Website, and the password you've assigned to your syllabus, and they may login to your syllabus during any study session.
This area allows the student to submit information about themselves and save it, so that it does not have to be retyped each time before submitting homework. This also stores e-mail addresses for up to four different people for students to send their results. The information in Your Profile may be updated at any time by clicking on the Preferences button.
