Video Series

The Operations Management Video Series are available across all Operations Management titles and provide students with additional reinforcement on core topics. Created by instructors, these personal videos bring online courses to life and help supplement any face-to-face class as well.

Algorithmic Problems

Algorithmic problems are auto-graded exercises using different numeric values each time a problem is served up to the student. This gives students practice in working a problem several times – same question, but different numbers each time. This also deters cheating because each student in a class or lab receives a slightly different version of the problem and correct answer. 

Interactive Data Problems

Interactive data problems allow students to visualise and interact with data in different ways. Students can manipulate data and answer a variety of accompanying questions that test multiple levels of understanding.

Assignable videos for students that provide an overview of SmartBook and homework they will see in Connect.
