Designed specifically for individuals studying coding on their own, the "Self-Study Edition" of Medical Coding Online (online program + text) represents a complete self-study course on coding, combining content, practice, and self-assessment into one product that can be used at home (or anywhere else with an Internet connection). The course book provides all the content in detail while the online component reinforces the important concepts in concise lessons incorporating figures, photographs, audio narrated slide shows, and links to relevant web sites. As learners are guided through each lesson, they encounter focused learning objectives and a range of pages to read in the text, followed by a "lecture" on what they just read, including periodic self-comprehension questions and learning activities with answer feedback. Each lesson ends with a self-assessment quiz.
