Caracteristici
For introductory computer courses on Microsoft Office 2007 or courses in computer concepts with a lab component for Microsoft Office 2007 applications.
The goal of the Exploring series has been to move students beyond the point and click, helping them understand the why and how behind each skill.
Students go to college now with a different set of skills than they did five years ago. With this in mind, the new edition of Exploring moves students beyond the basics of the software at a faster pace, without sacrificing coverage of the fundamental skills that everybody needs to know. This ensures that students will be engaged from Chapter 1 and throughout the book.
The third edition contains the same fundamental content of the previous edition and now includes updated coverage and new exercises.
Diversity: Students have diverse career goals. To target the variety of majors taking the course, Exploring offers examples relevant to every student.
Studying Made Easy: Students read, prepare, and study differently than they used to. Rather than reading a book cover-to-cover, students want to easily identify what they need to know, and then learn it efficiently. The key features bring students into the content, making the text easy to use.
NEW! Office Fundamentals Chapter efficiently covers skills common among all applications like save, print, and bold to avoid repetition in each Office application’s first chapter, along with coverage of problem solving skills to prepare students to apply what they learn in any situation.
NEW! Moving Beyond the Basics introduces advanced skills earlier because students are learning basic skills faster.
White Pages/Yellow Pages: Clearly distinguishes the theory from the skill exercises.
NEW! Objective Mapping enables students to skip the skills and concepts they know, and quickly find those they don’t, by scanning the chapter opener page for the page numbers of the material they need.
NEW! Pull Quotes entice students into the theory by highlighting the most interesting points.
Case Study Related: Are icons that help students identify skills specific to the case study.
NEW! Conceptual Animations connect the theory with the skills, by illustrating tough to understand concepts with interactive multimedia.
NEW! More End of Chapter Exercises offer instructors more options for assessment. Each chapter has approximately 12—15 exercises ranging from Multiple Choice questions to open-ended projects.
NEW! More Levels of End of Chapter Exercises, including new Mid-Level Exercises, which tell students what to do, but not how to do it, and Capstone Exercises that cover all of the skills within each chapter.
NEW! Mini Cases with Rubrics are open-ended exercises that guide both instructors and students to a solution with a specific rubric for each mini case.
Capstone Production Tests (one in the text and one in the IRCD): Allow the instructors to assess all the skills in the chapter with a single project.
myitlab Online Assessment and Training:
· Seamlessly integrate online assessment and training with myitlab for Microsoft Office 2007!
· Project-Driven assessment and outcomes-based training share content between the Exploring text and myitlab.
Unique Instructor Resources
Reference Cards: Outline the KEY objectives in the chapter. Like a PHIT Tip for instructors, it helps anticipate where students get stuck and includes tips for getting them un-stuck. When discussing more difficult topics, this resource helps bridge the gap between the instructor and student.
Concept Summary:
Reference card that outlines chapter objectives and common pit falls.
Case Study lecture Demonstration Document:
Provides instructors with a lecture sample based on the chapter opening case. These cases guide students to critically use the skills covered in the chapter while providing them examples of other ways they can be applied.
NEW! Updated with Windows Vista coverage: Including coverage on the latest operating system from Microsoft familiarizes students with the platforms they’ll see in their future careers.
NEW! Cumulative Capstone Exercises: For each exercise, these tie-in applications use real-life professional situations in the arts, hospitality, legal, and health care industries.
NEW! Student Reference Foldout Card for Office 2007 Ribbons: Includes text explanations and screenshots of Office 2007 Ribbons for Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint and Common Office (Ribbons common to many applications) and features one panel showing some differences between XP and Vista.
