DVD/CD-ROM Selection and Acquisition
Enhance Your Course Material – DVD/CD-ROM
DVDs and CD-ROMs can be used as an integral part of your course to enhance and supplement classroom instruction. They also serve as an effective means for bridging the gap between instructor and students in a distance learning course. DVDs and/or CD-ROMs have an advantage over traditional learning tools because students can go back over the lectures to review for tests.
