Helpful supplements include interactive study guides, either online or on a CD-ROM, and websites that supplement either a specific text or a particular subject area. Publishers often offer separate websites for instructors and students that are geared to their different needs.

An instructor can add a personal touch by changing content or adding narration. Vocabulary builders and practice tests are helpful to students.
