Building Momentum

A year ago we unveiled the new re-designed College-Cram, incorporating social networking features into the learning resources to create a true social learning environment.

Since then, we've seen tremendous growth -- over half a million visitors over the past twelve months, with more visitors this summer than all of the fall semester combined. This is thanks to great SEO work by our developers and inbounds links to our social learning resources from places like:

• University of North Carolina's finance learning objects.
• Rogue Community College's e-learning tools,
• Mesabi Range's math resources,

Finals are almost here, as are the end-of-year holidays. We have something to help with both!

The end is in sight,

Custom-made Cramlets Just For You!
Lorna, a UK student taking Spanish, created some vocabulary lists in her Notebook. We took those lists and made her flashcard Cramlets to help her study. (Check out her flashcards under LORNA, and our custom Cramlets under SPANISH.) Want your own Cramlets to help you study for finals? Create your own Notebook entries and we'll jump right on it!

Connexions Resources

Connexions (cnx.org) is a repository of learning modules and collections that has gotten some good press of late. It is popular with instructors and students alike, very much like my favorite social learning site.

Check out these great college study resources for your enjoyment.

More MERLOT resources

Ran across this site a while back, it has a bunch of learning resources of all kinds. If you're studying financial ratios, here are two collections that should help:

Study debt management ratios
Study asset management ratios

These collections have lots of help including tutorials on each of the ratios (days sales outstanding ratio, fixed assets turnover ratio, inventory turnover ratio, total asset turnover ratio, debt ratio, debt to equity ratio, EBITDA coverage ratio, equity multiplier ratio, and TIE ratio) study sheets for getting ready at exam time.

Enjoy!
