A New Digital Course Companion for AQA AS Business Studies Unit 1

Jim Riley

20th May 2008

As you might expect, tutor2u is hard at work putting the final touches to a comprehensive range of new resources to support the delivery of the new AQA AS Business Studies specifications from September 2008. Our interactive AQA Unit 1 Course Companion is shaping up really nicely as an engaging, high quality and cost-effective replacement for those cumbersome business textbooks.

Based on the format & style hugely popular interactive format of tutor2u’s AQA Unit 2&3 toolkit, the Course Companion includes:

- Detailed study notes for each of the 16 core topic areas in Unit 1
- Guided revision questions and exam-style data response exercises
- Interactive glossary of all the key specification terms for Unit 1
- Multiple-choice and other interactive quizzes
- Exam-style case studies & stimulus questions to prompt independent research
- Advice on Unit 1 exam technique from tutor2u’s experienced team of AQA Business examiners and teachers
- RSS news and blog feeds from relevant sites
- Live web-links to recommended websites

As with the previous Unit 2&3 Toolkit, the new Unit 1 Course Companion is VLE friendly. Each resource is provided in both interactive format and original pdf or Word format. Interactive quizzes are also provided in SCORM-compliant format to allow you to upload them to your VLE and track student progress.

The Unit 1 Digital Course Companion is truly a textbook replacement. And with its cost-effective network licence pricing, it will enable departments to achieve substantial savings on the prohibitive cost of buying class sets of textbooks which so quickly become outdated.
