 Critical
thinking skills are at their best as students tackle the tough issues
featured on the Explore More DVDs. Students explore and investigate
timely issues through interactive menus, scene selections, special
features, and stakeholder viewpoints, culminating in a DVDquest–a
problem-based learning challenge. Students interact with the content,
with experts, and with each other as they consider thought-provoking
questions, explore compelling issues, review expert interviews, and
solve complex problems.
These media-rich
DVDs enhance the learning experience by:
- Motivating
students to apply what they learn in the classroom to the real
world.
- Providing
an efficient and effective method of accessing indexed media clips.
- Providing
the flexibility for whole-class presentations or individual or
small group work at student desktops.
