About the Book
The Outcomes focus allows students and instructors to know the higher level learning goals and how those are achieved through discreet objectives and skills.
- Outcomes are written at the course level and the Business Unit level.
- Chapter Objectives list identifies the learning objectives to be achieved as students work through the chapter. Page numbers are included for easy reference. These are revisited in the Concepts Check at the end of the chapter.
Features for active learning help students learn by doing, and immerse them in the business world using Microsoft Office.
- Blue boxes represent the hands-on portion of the chapter and helps students quickly identify what steps they need to follow to complete the chapter Prepare Case. This is easily distinguishable from explanatory text by the blue shaded background.
- Starting and ending files appear before every case in the text. Starting Files identify exactly which Student Data Files are needed to complete each case. Ending Files are provided to show students the naming conventions they should use when saving their files. Each file icon is color coded by application.
- Side note conveys a brief tip or piece of information aligned visually with a step in the chapter, quickly providing key information to students completing that particular step.
- Consider This offers critical thinking questions and topics for discussion, set apart as a boxed feature, allowing students to step back from the project and think about the application of what they are learning and how these concepts might be used in the future.
- Soft Skills icons appear with other boxed features and identify specific places where students are being exposed to lessons on soft skills.
Study aids help students review and retain the material so they can recall it at a moment’s notice.
- Quick Reference boxes summarize generic or alternative instructions on how to accomplish a task. This feature enables students to quickly find important skills.
- Concept Check review questions appear at the end of the chapter, which require students to demonstrate their understanding of the objectives.
- Visual Summary offers a review of the objectives learned in the chapter using images from the completed solution file, mapped to the chapter objectives with callouts and page references, so students can easily find the section of text to refer to for a refresher.
- MyITLab™ icons identify which cases from the book match those in MyITLab™.
- Blue Box Video icons appear with each Active Text box and identify the brief video, demonstrating how students should complete that portion of the Prepare Case.
Extensive cases allow students to progress from a basic understanding of Office through to proficiency.
- Chapters all conclude with Practice, Problem Solve, and Perform Cases at the end of chapters to allow full mastery at the chapter level. Alternative versions of each of these cases are available in Instructor Resources.
- Business Unit Capstones all include More Practice, Problem Solve, and Perform Cases that require students to synthesize objectives from the two previous chapters to extend their mastery of the content. Alternative versions of each of these cases are available in Instructor Resources.
- More Grader Projects offered with this edition, which include Prepare cases as well as Problem Solve cases at both the chapter and business unit capstone levels.
The real world focus reminds students that what they’re learning is practical and useful the minute they leave the classroom.
- Real World Success features in the chapter opener share anecdotes from real former students, describing how knowledge of Office has helped them get ahead or be successful in their lives.
- Real World Advice box offers notes on best practices for general use of important Office skills. The goal is to advise students as a manager might in a future job.
- Business Application Icons appear with every case in the text and clearly identify which business application students are being exposed to, i.e., Finance, Marketing, Operations, etc.
- Real World Interview Video icons appear with the Real World Success Story in the Business Unit and feature a real businessperson discussing how he or she actually uses the skills in the chapter on a day-to-day basis.
