The Online Study Guide is designed to function both as a study tool and as a launching pad for further exploration. Content for the site was written by Al Trujillo and tied chapter-by-chapter to the text.

·         To aid in review the text material: The site contains several self-testing modules, including multiple choice and true/false, fill-in-the-blanks, and image-labeling exercises. Answers, once submitted, are automatically graded for instant feedback.

·         To foster critical thinking: The site contains Web Essay questions–short-answer questions that require the student to use the Internet to research an issue, evaluate the information, and formulate a response.

·         To encourage and enable further exploration: Using the incredibly array of resources now available on the Internet, every chapter contains both general and chapter-specific annotated Destinations links to some of the best oceanography sites on the World Wide Web. These sites are researched and annotated to ensure quality and relevancy and are continually checked to ensure validity.
