For introductory courses in Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer.

 

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.

 

Beyond The Point and Click

 

Students go to college now with a different set of skills than they did 5 years ago.  The new edition of Exploring moves students beyond the basics of the software at a faster pace, without sacrificing fundamental skills to ensure that they will be engaged from Chapter 1 throughout the book.

 

Diversity

 

Students have diverse career goals.  To target the variety of majors taking the course, Exploring offers examples relevant to every student.  Several examples in the text include the:

 

·        Health sciences

·        Hospitality

·        Urban planning

·        Business

 

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.

 

Some features include:

 

  • Objective Mapping
  • Pull Quotes
  • Key Terms

 

OTHER TOPICS OF DISTINCTION

 

Key Features of the Office 2007 Revision

 

  • 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’ve learned in any situation.

 

  • NEW! “Moving Beyond the Basics” introduces advanced skills earlier because students are learning basic skills faster.

 

  • White Pages/Yellow Pages clearly distinguish theory from skills covered in Hands-On exercises, so students always know what they are supposed to be doing.

 

  • NEW! Objective Mapping enables students to skip the skills, quickly finding concepts that they don’t know by scanning the chapter opener page for the exact location of new concepts.

 

  • NEW! Pull Quotes entice students into the theory by emphasizing the most interesting points.

 

  • NEW! Conceptual Animations connect theory with 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 to open-ended projects, including mid-level and capstone exercises covering all skills in 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 case.

 

Unique Instructor Resources

 

Reference Cards are available to outline KEY objectives in each chapter, helping instructors anticipate where students get stuck and how to get them “un-stuck.”  Helping to bridge the gap between the instructor and student on more difficult topics by offering:

 

  • Concept Summaries — Reference cards that outline chapter objectives and common pitfalls.
  • Case Study Lecture Demonstration Document — Provides instructors with a lecture sample based on the chapter opening case that will guide them to critically use the skills covered in the chapter, with examples of other ways the skills can be applied.

This edition is written for Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007.
