RE: McGraw Hill vs. Allyn and Bacon

[Jon Iuzzini]

Mark,   I don’t know much about Allyn & Bacon’s services, but I recently spoke with someone at McGraw-Hill and learned of their PageOut service, which basically involves them setting up a web page for you when you use one of their books. The main benefits to this that you don’t necessarily have by creating your own web page is that (1) they provide links for students to material relevant to each chapter in the book you’re using, (2) they provide a “bulletin board” area in which you can post issues for discussion and then your students can comment as they wish.  This may be a nice tool for extra credit, although I haven’t tried it yet.  Overall, the setup seemed like it was very well thought out, and it’s certainly worth looking into if you’re thinking about using one of their texts.  For more info, go to http://www.mhhe.com/pageout.   Best, Jon I.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jonathan L.
