Web sites are becoming an increasingly sought after method for studying and teaching preparation. LWW hosts Connection, which currently features over 15 ancillary web sites. These sites are available to purchasers, subscribers, and adopters of some of LWW textbooks. Web sites enhance the success of existing products and often add appeal to new products. For more information on developing web sites, visit the author support center for New Media!
If you are developing or revising a product designed to aid students in exam preparation and professors in instruction, then a test bank may be just the add-on product that will make it more effective. Test banks are generally created on CD-ROM and created as companion web sites. Interactive test generators allow students to take simulated exams in a specific time frame. Some programs, like the Board Simulator CD-ROM, also include content for review purposes.
Image banks make ideal ancillaries to books that contain numerous color images such as atlases. The banks can be created on CD-ROM or placed on a web site for adaptation in class presentations, labs and for use in review and on exams. Image banks can be combined with test generators to form one dynamic product as in the Introduction to Sectional Anatomy Test Generator & Image Collection.
Instructor's Manuals are developed to provide instructors with materials that are not available to students. These materials can be used in conjunction with course lectures, labs, or exams. Many Instructor's Manuals contain problems, answers, notes, and lecture material that complement the book it is sold with, such as The Instructor's Guide for Casebook for Textbook of Therapeutics 7th Edition. Instructor's Manuals can be created as books or web sites.
Workbooks & Study Guides
To add a bit of interactivity to your book, consider developing a workbook or study guide to accompany it. Both can be ancillaries or stand alone products. Workbooks and Study Guides generally contain exercises directly related and drawn from the primary texts they are sold with. They provide examples, case studies, and images ideal for exam preparation and review. Some workbooks can be sold as companions to CD-ROMs like Interactive Electrocardiography.
