In addition to having access to all student digital learning objects, ARIS provides instructors with the following tools:

Build Assignments

Choose from prebuilt assignments or create custom content by importing content or editing an existing assignment from the prebuilt assignment.
Assignments can include quiz questions, animations, and videos--anything found on the website.
Create announcements and use full course or individual student communication tools.
Assign unique multilevel tutorial questions developed by content experts that provide intelligent feedback through a series of questions to help students truly understand a concept, not just repeat an answer.

Track Student Progress

Assignments are automatically graded
Gradebook functionality allows full course management including:

Dropping the lowest grades
Weighting grades/manually adjusting grades
Exporting your gradebook to Excel, WebCT, or BlackBoard

Presentation Center

Build instructional materials wherever, whenever, and however you want! ARIS Presentation Center is an online digital library containing assets such as photos, artwork, animations, PowerPoints, and other media types that can be used to create customized lectures, visually enhanced tests and quizzes, compelling course websites, or attractive printed support materials.

Access to your book, access to all books!
The Presentation Center library includes thousands of assets from many McGraw-Hill titles. This ever-growing resource gives instructors the power to use assets specific to an adopted textbook as well as content from all other books in the library.

Nothing could be easier!
Accessed from the instructor side of your textbook’s ARIS website, Presentation Center’s dynamic search engine allows you to explore by discipline, course, textbook chapter, asset type, or keyword. Browse, select, and download the files you need to build engaging course materials. All assets are copyright McGraw-Hill Higher Education but can be used by instructors for classroom purposes.

Test Bank
A computerized test bank that uses testing software to quickly create customized exams is available for this text. The user-friendly program allows instructors to search for questions by topic or format, edit existing questions or add new ones; and scamble questions for multiple versions of the same test. Word files of the test bank questions are provided for those instructors who prefer to work outside the test-generator software.

Student Response System
Wireless technology brings interactivity into the classroom or lecture hall. Instructors and students receive immediate feedback through wireless response pads that are easy to use and engage students. This system can be used by instructors to:

Take attendance
Administer quizzes and tests
Create a lecture with intermittent questions
Manage lectures and student comprehension through the use of the gradebook
Integrate interactivity into their PowerPoint presentations
