H.2.4 Visual vs. Verbal Learners

Visual

• Study the examples and self-tests on the DVD-ROM summary notes that have graphs and figures showing trends

• Do ICGs to see how each step of a derivation/problem leads to the next

• Use the graphical output from Living Example Problems/Polymath code to obtain a visual understanding of how various parameters affect a system

• Use the Professional Reference Shelf to view pictures of real reactors

Verbal

• Listen to audios on the Web to hear information in another way

• Work with a partner to answer questions on the ICGs

H.3 Navigation

Students can use the DVD-ROM in conjunction with the text in a number of different ways. The DVD-ROM provides enrichment resources. It is up to each student to determine how to use these resources to generate the greatest benefit. Table H-2 shows some of the clickable buttons found in the Summary Notes within the Learning Resources and a brief description of what the students will see when they click on the buttons.

The creators of the DVD-ROM tried to make navigating through the resources as easy and logical as possible. A more comprehensive guide to usage and navigation can be found on the DVD-ROM.
