This Companion Textbook supplements the ActivEpi CD-ROM, sold
separately. The ActivEpi CD-ROM provides a multimedia presentation of
concepts, commonly taught in an introductory epidemiology course.
ActivEpi mixes a full array of media to motivate, explain, visualize and
apply epidemiological concepts. Virtually all of the material on the
ActivEpi CD-ROM is included in the Companion Textbook. Because
individuals differ in their learning skills, the ActivEpi CD-ROM and the
ActivEpi Companion Textbook offer readers different but related options
on how to learn epidemiology. The Textbook can be used as a hardcopy
reference of the textual materials contained on the CD-ROM, as a
resource for the practice exercises, as a general reference, or even a
self-contained textbook. ActivEpi includes 15 lessons and over 50 hours
of content via more than 250 launchable activities and homework
exercises. It can be used in a variety of teaching formats: distance
learning, self-paced learning, on-campus courses, and short courses. For
