Expand your e-learning solutions to their full capabilities with VHL WebLinks. If you're using WebCT or Blackboard course management systems, linking students to course content that is available online is easy and practical, and offers you more variety and flexibility than using an e-Pack or a course cartridge. Plus WebLinks is completely customizable; you can easily add, delete, or modify the provided links to suit your needs.

The advantages of VHL WebLinks for WebCT and Blackboard users:

Students have direct access to a variety of online options designed to support the material in their textbook.
Through your WebCT or Blackboard course, your students can access the ancillary materials that were designed as an integral part of your VHL program from its inception. These include our Web-SAMs (online Workbook, Video Manual, and Lab Manual), which are available for student purchase, the activities and resources available free-of-charge on our Companion Websites.

To see our internet activities, please go to the text-specific Student Companion Website at www.vistahigherlearning.com.

Students and instructors have access to superior platforms for online activities.
Built on Quia's award-winning technology platform, Web-SAM delivers the complete Workbook, Video Manual, and Lab Manual online, plus includes the Lab MP3 Files Audio CD-ROM with the entire Lab Audio Program. Activities are automatically scored, and all grades are easily exported into your WebCT or Blackboard gradebook for seamless integration of students' scores.

To sign up for a 30-day free trial of Web-SAM, contact your local sales representative.

Students link directly to specific activities that you assign in your syllabus.
Vista Higher Learning will provide you with interactive links to activities and other materials that support the lessons in the VHL textbook program you've adopted. These links can be inserted right into your electronic course where students link directly to the activities when you assign them. This allows your students to do all the course-related work without having to switch media (from computer to paper). The transition is fluid and students never realize they've left your course management system because all the course materials are only one click away from your WebCT or Blackboard course.

There is no software to install on your school's server.
Because you are simply providing links to outside sources, there is no installation of software on your school's server. Unlike e-Packs or course cartridges, our text-specific activities and materials do not take up any space on your school's system and do not require additional support or maintenance.

VHL WebLinks is offered free-of-charge to all adopters of VISTAS 2/e, AVENTURAS, and ENFOQUES and will be available for fall 2004.
