The ActivEpi Textbook and CD-ROM.  The combination of a textbook and CD-ROM provide a very useful method of teaching and learning epidemiology.  ActivEpi CD-ROM is a complete multimedia presentation the material commonly found in an introductory epidemiology course.  It mixes a full array of media to motivate, explain, visualize and apply epidemiologic concepts. It uses:
•Video to instill real-world motivation for learning and applying epidemiologic concepts
•Narrated expositions to teach the concepts using high-quality audio synchronized with text, pictures and animations
•Quizzes to provide self-evaluation of basic terms and concepts
•Data Desk to provide practice applying the methods learned to real data

The textbook provides the same material as the CD-ROM and can be used alone or in conjunction with the CD-ROM.  Additional information can be found at:

Companion Text: click on image or   http://www.springer-ny.com/detail.tpl?isbn=0387955747Also, a new textbook for more introductory courses in Epidemiology.
