Content Browser

New for the Eighth Edition, the Instructor's Resource Library features a convenient content browser that allows you to quickly preview all of the content included here. To launch the browser, double-click the file titled "Browser Launch.html" at the top level of the disc. Within the browser, you can access content by choosing a category from either the chapter-specific categories listed at the top, or the general categories listed on the left.

Figure and Table JPEGs

(Located in the “Figures” folder)
All of the figures and all of the tables from the textbook are provided for you on this DVD. These files can be displayed in the classroom using presentation software such as Microsoft PowerPoint, posted on course websites, added to course-related documents, or used in any other manner that is in accordance the terms of the License Agreement (see below). All of the images are provided as JPEG files at two sizes: The high-resolution images are approximately 1400 x 1050 pixels; these are ideal for use in PowerPoint. The low-resolution images are approximately 640 x 480 pixels; these can be useful for Web applications, or anywhere that a smaller image is needed. Where possible, the largest and most complex figures have been split into parts in order to make the text and art large enough to be legible.

Filenames

All the figures and tables are named according to their number in the textbook. In the case of figures that have been split into parts, the files have been numbered sequentially.

Examples:

DevBio8e-Fig-02-01-0.jpg = Figure 2.1 (in its entirety)
DevBio8e-Fig-02-04-1.jpg = Figure 2.4, Part 1
DevBio8e-Fig-02-04-2.jpg = Figure 2.4, Part 2
DevBio8e-ChptOpener-12.jpg = Chapter 12 Opener
DevBio8e-Table-22-02-0.jpg = Table 22.2

Vade Mecum2

Included in the Instructor's Resource Library is a collection of videos and still images from Vade Mecum2 by Mary Tyler and Ronald Kozlowski (the CD that accompanies Developmental Biology, Eighth Edition). These videos and images are provided for use in lecture, quizzes, or any other use associated with your course. The videos are in the "Videos" folder, in a "Vade Mecum2" sub-folder. The images of developing chick embryo sections are provided in two PowerPoint presentations, located in the "Vade Mecum2 (PowerPoint)" folder.

Differential Expressions2

Differential Expressions2(by Mary Tyler, Ronald Kozlowski, and Scott Gilbert) is a 2-DVD set containing eight videos, each of which presents the life and work of a prominent scientist in the field of developmental biology. The IRL includes a guide for instructors that correlates textbook chapters and topics with the segments and topics in Differential Expressions2. This file is located in the "Documents" folder.

PowerPoint Presentations

Important Notes:
1. The following instructions refer to using the PowerPoint presentation files found in the folders on the IRL disc. If you view a PowerPoint presentation via the content browser that is included on this disc (as opposed to opening it from a folder on the disc), you may not be able to edit it (depending on your system). For example, on a Windows PC using Internet Explorer, when you click a link to a presentation within the content browser, the presentation will be displayed in a browser window, not actually opened in PowerPoint. In this case, the presentation is not editable, it is only viewable. To edit a PowerPoint presentation, follow the instructions below.
2. To use any of the prepared presentations, you must have PowerPoint installed on your computer (although Corel Presentations or OpenOffice may convert them). If you double-click a presentation and it does not open in PowerPoint, it may mean that you do not have PowerPoint installed on your computer. Please contact your computer support/IT department for help with installation. For more detailed help with the many features of PowerPoint, refer to the documentation that accompanies PowerPoint.
3. If you will be using any of the videos in PowerPoint, be sure to read the appropriate section below.

There are several different sets of PowerPoint presentations provided on the IRL disc:
1. Figures: All of the art, photos, and tables from the textbook. These are located in the "Figures (PowerPoint)" folder.
2. Videos: The collection of videos assembled to accompany the textbook, for use in lecture. These are in the "Videos" folder, in the "General" sub-folder.
3. Videos from Vade Mecum2: The collection of video segments included in the Vade Mecum2 program. These are all in one presentation, located in the "Videos" folder, in the "Vade Mecum2" sub-folder.
4. Vade Mecum2 Instructor's Resource: These are sets of chick embryo sections from Vade Mecum2. They are located in the "Vade Mecum2 (PowerPoint)" folder.

You can use the PowerPoint presentations from the IRL in a variety of ways:

You can open them and use them as they are, right off the disc:
1. Open any of the folders that contain PowerPoint presentations.
2. Double-click the presentation you want.
3. Once PowerPoint opens, choose "View Show" from the "Slide Show" menu.
4. Click the mouse or the Right Arrow key to advance through the slides.

You can copy them to your hard disk and use them as they are:
1. Open any of the folders that contain PowerPoint presentations.
2. Select the presentation you want.
3. Drag it to a folder on your hard disk (or to the Desktop). The presentation will be copied onto your computer, and you will have access to it without the CD inserted.
4. Double-click the presentation to open it and follow the instructions above to view it.

You can copy presentations to you hard disk and customize them in any way; add text, insert or delete images, etc.
1. Follow the steps above to copy a presentation to your computer's hard disk.
2. Double-click the presentation you want to open in PowerPoint.
3. Edit the presentation. (See below for details.)

To follow is a brief overview of the main features of PowerPoint.

Interface
Each PowerPoint presentation will open in the Normal or Slide Layout view, with the first slide showing on the right and the list of slides showing on the left. To move to a specific slide, simply click the slide you want on the list. Or, once you have clicked the slide list to make it active, use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to move up and down through the list.

Layout
PowerPoint uses a Master Slide layout to set the layout for all the slides. We have set up the master slide for these presentations in such a way that there is a pre-defined text box at the top of each slide for the title (the titles appear on each slide), and a text box in the body of the slide for adding text content (which is blank, and can be used for your own text). To add text to the slides using these pre-defined text boxes, simply click the text box and type the text you want. The text will be styled according to the master slide style settings. You can over-ride this styling by selecting the text and applying the font, color, etc. you want. To change the style for all slides, make changes to the master slide (accessed by choosing "Master, Slide Master" from the "View" menu).

Inserting or Deleting Slides
To delete a slide that you do not want to use, select it on the slide list, and then choose "Delete Slide" from the "Edit" menu.

To insert a new, blank slide, from the "Insert" menu, choose "New Slide." You may then add text or images. (See Inserting Images below to add an image to the new slide.)

To insert a slide from another presentation, from the "Insert" menu, choose "Slides From Files...," and find the presentation from which you want to copy slides. You will then see a preview of the presentation, and you can click to select the slide you want to insert. (You can also insert multiple slides by holding the Shift key and clicking additional slides.)

Inserting Figures
The easiest way to add a figure from Developmental Biology to your presentation is to insert a slide from one of the ready-made presentations contained in the Instructor's Resource Library. For example, to add Figure 12.9 to your own presentation, do the following:
1. Insert the IRL disc into your computer.
2. Open your presentation and advance to the appropriate point.
3. From the "Insert" menu, choose "Slides from Files..."
4. Click "Browse", and navigate to the file "Ch12 Figures.ppt" on the IRL disc. (Located in the "Figures (PowerPoint)" folder.
5. Select the Figure 12.9 slide, click the "Keep source formatting" checkbox, then click "Insert."
6. Click "Close."

You can also choose to insert just a picture, rather than an entire slide. To add a picture to an existing slide, choose "Picture from File..." from the "Insert" menu, and locate the image you want to insert. (In the Figures folder on the IRL disc, for example.) Once the picture has been inserted, you can resize it by dragging the corners of the image, and position it by clicking it and dragging it to a new location. Dragging the corner of an image will resize it proportionally, and is recommended.

A note on image quality: In an effort to provide you with excellent-quality images, we have provided the art and tables at quite a high resolution (approximately 1400 × 1050 pixels). This allows you to take full advantage of your projector (most newer projectors run at a resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels or higher), and also allows you to enlarge a portion of an image above 100% size with good clarity.

Using Videos in PowerPoint

We have provided PowerPoint slides that contain all of the videos from the video collection included in the IRL. There are two versions of the video PowerPoint presentations, one for Windows computers and one for Macintosh computers-be sure to use the appropriate version.

When using these PowerPoint slides to insert videos into your own presentations, it is important to remember that PowerPoint requires that the video files be present in order to play them back when presenting. Therefore, when using any of the PowerPoint slides that contain videos, you must copy the video files from the IRL disc to the computer that you will be using to present. For example, if you insert the slide from the "Videos" PowerPoint that contains Video 2.1 into your own PowerPoint presentation, you must also copy the file titled "02-01 Xenopus 1.mov" to your computer, into the same folder as your presentation.

Using Flash Animations in PowerPoint
Some of the videos in the video collection are animations that are in Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Flash format. These work differently with PowerPoint depending on the type of computer you are using.

Windows

On Windows computers, Flash animations can be inserted into PowerPoint slides for presentation purposes, so we have provided them in this format, along with all the other videos. To insert one of these slides into your own presentation, follow the steps above for inserting a slide. (Be sure to check the "Keep source formatting" checkbox.)

Note: As with all the videos, you must also copy the actual Flash file into the same folder as your presentation in order for it to play back when presenting.

Macintosh
Flash animation files cannot be inserted directly onto PowerPoint slides on the Mac (with the current versions of QuickTime and Flash). However, you can create a link to an animation from your presentation, which will open the animation in your browser. We have provided these links in the Mac version of the Videos PowerPoint presentation.

When you insert a PowerPoint slide containing a Flash animation, be sure to do the following to ensure that the Flash files will open and display properly:

1. Set your system to open Flash files using your browser:
a. Select a Flash file on the Instructor's Resource Library disc, for example, "05-04 RNA Splicing.swf" in the "Videos" folder.
b. Choose "Get Info" from the File menu.
c. Click the "Open With" drop-down arrow.
d. Choose your browser from the pop-up menu of applications.
e. Click "Change All" (if you chose a file on a disc, you will get a message saying that you can't change that specific file, but would you like to make that change for all files of this type, click "Yes" or "OK.")

2. Copy the animation file you want to the same folder as your PowerPoint presentation. For example, if you are going to use the slide that contains Video 5.4, you must copy the file titled "05-04 RNA Splicing.swf" to your computer.
3. In your PowerPoint presentation, on the slide you wish to link from, create either a piece of text or an image to use as the link.
4. Select this text or picture, right-click (control-click), and choose "Hyperlink...."
5. In the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, click "Document."
6. Navigate to the location of the animation you want to link to, select it, and click "OK."
7. Test the link by viewing the slideshow: when you get to the slide with the link on it, you should get a hand cursor when you are over the linked object. Click it once to open the link, and the animation should open in your browser. When it is done playing, simply close the browser to return to the slideshow.
