OTHER POINTS OF DIFFERENTIATION

  • Ease of Use: GO! Series textbooks are designed for student success and ease of use for a diverse student audience.
    • Chapters named “Chapters” and Sequential Pagination makes the text easy for students to navigate and find assignments. 
  • 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.
    • Projects are Color-Coded so students know where they are in a chapter.

  • GO!’s friendly single-column design with ample white space is easy to read and navigate.

  • GO!’s unique usage of Microsoft Procedural Syntax presents instructions that begin with where the action is to take place, followed by the action itself. This prevents students from doing the right action in the wrong place.

  • Teachable Moment Theory: The GO! Series does not use tedious paragraphs of expository text; instead, concepts are woven into the steps at the teachable moment.

  • GO!’s End-of-Chapter material offers ample variety of chapter review from fill-in-the-blank concepts review to open-ended, project-based assessments to a running case.

    • Skills Assessment, Performance Assessment, Mastery Assessment, providing real world projects with high, medium, or low levels of guidance.

    • Color Coded exercises indicates various levels of guidance.

    • Numbered Chapter Objectives appear in end of chapter exercises and indicate what the student is about to review. 

    • File Guide Boxes at the beginning of each end of chapter assessment clearly indicate the file needed to complete an assignment.

      • Responds to the trend in school accreditation board demands for authentic assessment of students.
      • Printed in textbook to provide students with guidance on completing and evaluating their work. 
         

    • You and GO! assessments provide an open-ended project that personally relates to the student (ex. create a budget of your expenses).

    • Business Running Case provides a continuing project that spans the chapters within an application and covers all the chapter objectives.

GO! System Unique Instructor Resources:

  • GO!'s One-of-a-Kind Instructor's Resource Kit includes a fully-annotated instructor's edition and numerous unique supplements to help all instructors implement the course quickly and with as little effort as possible.

  • Annotated Instructor's Edition in print and on CD contains the entire book, wrapped with vital margin notes, including objectives, a list of files needed for the chapter, teaching tips, and MORE!

    • Organized by Prepare, Teach, Assess, each chapter in the annotated instructor’s edition starts with a Prepare, Teach, Assess guide and file guide.

    • Full-size student pages in the annotated instructor’s edition let instructors experience the text just like their students.

  • Expert Demonstration Documents (EDD) cover identical skills of each in-chapter project with different content, accompanied by a brief script. Use it in class and avoid students skipping ahead.

  • Chapter Assignment Sheets provide a listing all of the assignments for the chapter, where you can quickly insert your name, course information, due dates, and points. Providing these to students ensures they always know what is due, when, and in what format.

  • Custom Assignment Tags offer scoring checklists for chapter assignments that can be, printed, copied, cut out and attached to printed submissions.

  • Highlighted Overlays consist of transparent overlays of solution files. Yellow highlights point out the gradable elements for quick and easy grading.

  • Point Counted Production Tests are pre-made cumulative exams for each project, chapter, and application.

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.
