Features of Visualizing Cell Processes Interactive Learning Guide
Visualizing Cell Processes Interactive Learning Guide is both a companion to the Visualizing Cell Processes 3rd Edition DVD** and a stand-alone computer-based study guide. It also can provide an excellent companion to our set of five Visualizing Cell Processes videos on VHS cassette. It covers about one third to one half of the content of most courses taught in high school biology, AP biology, and beginning college/university biology levels. The flexibility of this Learning Guide for crossing levels results from its concept approach, chunking of information, and the accessibility it provides to higher levels of detail. At its highest level of detail, this Interactive Learning Guide provides most of the content in standard biology texts used in AP biology and beginning college-level courses
