The flip-side of the Student CD-ROM was the Instructor's Resource CD-ROM. This CD was packed full of all the illustrations from the textbook in JPEG format, instructional outlines, prewritten questions, PowerPoint files, and the entire Student CD-ROM.

Innovative pieces of technology and usability were combined in order to get this application to run off the CD-ROM without any install or system profiling. After all, it is essentially a client-server application that in the end must be able to write assets to the user's system for recall and reuse during lectures and so on.

Chapter Landing Page

Data-driven, schmata-driven. Out of every 12 people, six will want to browse and six will want to search. We provided easy access to both users, but only because we were rigorous in establishing a clear, hierarchical document architecture. The Chapter Landing page was the simple visual representation of this.

Search Page

Reflecting the same document architecture, the Search Page allowed the "type A" user fully logical access to the CD's contents via keyword searches and checkbox selection.
