Chapter 1 Recourses
From the first look at the CourseMate recourses, user will find a number of very intelligent tools that can help him/her to read, practice, and even taking some quizzes to evaluate his/her level. Those recourses are available for each chapter and can be accessed easily with valid course key and CourseMate pin number.
Chapter eBook
Chapter eBook is the first recourse in the list and I personally believe that it is the most valuable resource. The main reason makes it very useful is easiness to read, print and search in a superfast way for any terms or question in the book. Unlike the original textbook, the electronic copy allows …show more content…
readers to jump to any page and search for the desired section in the book. eBook Interactive Activities The eBook Interactive Activities function helps student to do some exercise based on Drag-and-Drop option.
It also, has an animation library as well as video library to assist students who seek for more information about the chapter.
Web Apps Web Apps is another way for students to enhance their knowledge about the course. It has three sub resources. These resources are as follow:
1. Flash cards: It is similar to the traditional note cards but in electronic bases. It helps students to recall the terms and definitions of the textbook.
2. Study Guide Web app: It opens in separate page and start gives quick questions from the chapter so student can gauge himself/herself of readiness.
3. Practice Test Web app: It is a simulation of real quiz so students can practice it in unlimited bases.
All of the preceding three sub-resources can be accessed not only by Desktops or laptops, but even by tablets or/and smartphones.
Global Tech Watch Projects Global Tech Watch Projects is a very excellent tool for students who look for more information, media or newspapers and magazines related to the course or the chapter itself.

Flashcards
It is interactive tool similar to the traditional note cards but in electronic bases. It helps students to recall the terms and definitions of the textbook. Students have the option to start with terms first or with definitions first.
Key Terms Key Terms is a glossary which contains all of the important definitions in the chapter. Therefore, students go over it in order to recall the terms and definitions of each term. Student Edition Labs
It is a tool that allows students to go to each part of the chapter separately and in very smooth way. For example, if the student is looking for “What are the parts of Mouse?” then this is the right place to go.
Quiz Yourself
Quiz yourself is to quiz yourself!
Students can take quizzes as many attempts as they want. It looks like real quiz, but ungraded. This resource tests students based on objectives/subjects.
Checkpoint
Checkpoint is just similar to the Quiz yourself but based on true/false, matching and multiple choices questions. Practice Test
Practice Test is a comprehensive exam that covers the whole chapter. It consist of true/false, matching and multiple choices questions. Activities and Tutorials
Activities and Tutorials tool has extra resources to enrich student’s knowledge. It has several funny tools to help students learn and enjoy answering questions based on games, such as Crossword puzzle, Wheel of terms, etc. Video Study Tools
Video Study Tools are links to external website so students can explore more about the chapter through watching movies, YouTube videos and more.
Audio Study Tools Instead of reading reviews or terms of the chapters as well as watching videos, this feature gives students the option to listen to them. I do believe that this resource could be the least useful resource among the others because nowadays most students either prefer to read or watching tutorial videos to fully understand the
lesson(s).
Beyond the Book
Beyond the Book is a list of external links of websites or/and webpages that can add more information to the ones in the textbook. Using this feature will definitely add more values and information to students who search for more knowledge about computers
