WinEcon is an award winning, highly interactive teaching and learning package for network and PC use. Intensively developed at a cost of £1m under the government funded Teaching and Learning Technology Programme by experienced teachers of economics, the WinEcon software gives complete control of the pace and style of learning in a fully-supported environment that demands no prior knowledge of computing or economics.

Introductory Economics can be used as a stand alone course or to complement your university's or college's course. Intensively developed and updated by experienced teachers of economics, Introductory Economics is arranged into chapters, with each chapter divided into easy to manage sections containing topics which comprise interactive tutorials supported by a virtual tutor.

The expertly authored tutorials include theory and graphic enhanced interactive exercises allowing students to interact with the models and see how changes made affect graphs, etc., helping students to understand the theory, with interactive questions to test their understanding as they progress through the tutorial.

Many topics include links to additional and more advanced information and exercises, tailoring a student's learning to suit their own individual strengths and weaknesses. And the easy to use navigation allows students to dip into topics if they don't want to work through a whole chapter or section.

The software also includes easily accessible section introductions and summaries and an economics glossary and notebook, all ideal for revision. Plus self-assessment quizzes and specialist chapters on introductory and intermediate maths, statistics and probability for economists.

The Web-enabled network version of WinEcon is used extensively in leading universities, colleges and schools internationally. When used in conjunction with the PC based software, the user can access these Web Linking features from their own machines.

With WinEcon installed on the individual's machine, students working away from the institution's local area network (LAN) can continue to make full use of the Web enabling features to link to specific WinEcon screens quickly and easily from their lecturer's Web pages. Plus, they can do this without having to stay on line. This is a major benefit to distance learners.
