Economics

Ayers/Collinge, Microeconomics Active Book & Workbook Package is an interactive, online, digital book that completely integrates multimedia resources with the textbook to greatly enhance the student learning experience.

• Uses the web for what it's good at!–An activebook takes full advantage of the online environment. Gearing Up sections highlight the chapter's central concepts. Active Examples and Active Exercises help students explore the chapter's most important points through video, audio, and text. Active Concept Checks allow students to test their understanding of the material at the end of every major section, with links back to appropriate coverage. Chapter Wrap-Ups include a practice quiz, which gives students a chance to test their knowledge. Dynamic content is updated as often as needed.

• Explore and apply sections–Look at today's important policy and social debates. Do government policies help employees? How do we pay for homeland security? How does technology impact economic growth? Each Explore & Apply includes questions that promote economic reasoning and encourage students to debate a policy issue. The activebook experience allows students to link to the latest news discussed in the Explore & Apply sections.

• The activebook–Allows students to explore the workings and concepts behind graphs using various levels of learning. Active Graphs: Fifty-three Active Graphs support key graphs in the text. These JAVA applications invite students to change the value of variables and curves and see the effects in the movement of the graph. Smart Graphs: Twenty-seven Smart Graphs ask students to modify graphs based on an economic scenario and related questions. Students receive an instant response detailing how they should have changed the graph. Animated Graphing Tutorial with Audio: Guides the student through a multimedia version of Chapter 1 Appendix: “Working with Graphs and Data.”

• Gives you more for less!–Despite the increased amount of multimedia and interactive content, activebooks cost less than traditional textbooks. Even though the core text is retained in print, the print component of an activebook is shorter than a traditional text. All boxed material, chapter summaries, exercises, and other content that can be made dynamic reside in the online component of the activebook.
