When asked if it is okay to download the missing xtras, select okay or the module will not run properly (xtras are small extentions to Shockwave which extend its capabilites; xtras only need to be downloaded once).

What is VBL?
See this tour for a quick overview of the product. Read a full description of the product then demo four modules and view detailed descriptions of the other six modules. To preview VBL in its entirety request a review copy here.

Instructor ancillaries
To find worksheet answers, go to the VBL instructors site and click the "Answers" button. You will need to register for a CourseKey (personalized User ID and password), to gain access to instructor resources.

Options for Purchase
If you want to give students access to all 10 modules, ask your bookstore to stock one-semester (0030323045) or two-semester cards (049501057X), or talk to your Thomson sales rep about discounts on cards when bundled with Brooks/Cole texts. Access to the suite of ten modules, as well as individual module access, can also be purchased online below.

Course-Management Solutions
Instructors, explore a demo and download of the content packs for WebCT (0534464955) or Blackboard (0534464947). The module tests and exercise quizzes will be integrated with your electronic gradebook and it is no more expensive than the set of ten. Ask your bookstore to stock the ISBN corresponding to your campus course management system.
