Description

Features

For Introductory Computer courses in Microsoft Office 2007 or courses in Computer Concepts with a lab component for Microsoft Office 2007 applications.

Teach the course YOU want in LESS TIME! The primary goal of the GO! Series, aside from teaching computer applications, is ease of implementation, with an approach that is based on clearly-defined projects for students and a one of a kind supplements package.

New To This Edition

Sequential chapter numbering: In addition to sequential page numbering GO! chapters are now numbered 1 through 22 instead of Word Chapter 1, Excel Chapter 1, etc. This makes the text even easier to navigate.

Project-Based Approach: GO!’s project-based approach clusters the learning objectives around the projects rather than around software features. Teaches students to solve real problems as they practice and learn the features.

• Texts are now organized by objectives and student learning outcomes and there are always two instructional projects per chapter

“There’s More You Can Do” feature

·        Try It! exercises teach students additional skills or new office features that are not  included within the instructional portion of the chapter.

Workshop feature for Excel and PowerPoint chapters help students better understand the uses of these applications.

·        The Excel Workshop teaches formulas and other basic math skills and a separate PowerPoint Workshop teaches essential presentation skills

End-of-Chapter organized into two sections: Content–Based Assessments and Outcomes-Based Assessments.

• Now your content-based or defined-solution assessments that can be graded with a solution file or GO! Highlighted Overlays are separated from your non-defined solution assessments that can be graded with the GO! Rubric. 

End-of-Chapter assessments provide even more options for quizzing and review.

·        GO! with Help teaches the student to work with the Help feature in Office as a project.

·        Group Business Running Case is a project that runs through entire textbook and designed to be assigned to group of students.

Audio/Video Expert Demonstration Documents (A/V-EDDs) are multimedia versions of the GO! Expert Demonstration Documents that provide an alternative scripted lecture scenario of each chapter project in the text.

·        Provided in Flash file format for easy delivery, these are ideal for online, lecture reinforcement, and lecture replacement.

Assignment Tags for Problem Solving assessments provide task-specific scoring checklists that save time in grading open-ended assessments (assessments without defined solutions).

GO!-Specific instructional content in the new myitlab assessment and training software for Office 2007!

• New MyITLab training scenarios deliver the exact same step-by-step content as the projects in the GO! textbook while the assessment provides two additional scenarios of each GO! project.
