Outlook 2007 Made Easy!

Based on both professor and student feedback, this text has been designed for ease of understanding on the student to help them learn about Microsoft Outlook 2007 by using several learning tools available:

Microsoft Procedural Syntax—The procedural steps begin with where the action is to take place, followed by the action itself. The instruction is error-free, clearly written, and logically arranged.

Project-Based Instruction—Rather than practicing features of the application, students create real projects that they will need in the real world. Projects are color-coded for easy reference and are named to reflect skills the students will be practicing.

Learning Objectives and Student Outcomes—Clusters objectives around projects that result in student outcomes, helping students learn how to solve problems, not just learn software features.

A and B Projects—Contains two instructional projects (A and B) in each chapter.

Visual Summary—Shows students upfront what their projects will look like when they are done.

Project Summary—Stated clearly and concisely in one paragraph.

Teachable Moment—Weaves expository text into the steps, at the moment students need to know it.

File Guide—Clearly shows students which files are needed for the project and the names they will use to save their documents.

Screen Shots—Larger examples of what students will see when they try a skill themselves.

Objective—The skills the student will learn are clearly stated at the beginning of each project, and color-coded to match projects listed on the chapter opener page.

Steps—Color-coded to the current project, steps are provided to guide the students throughout.

End-of-Project Icon—Provides clearly identifiable end points, useful in self-paced or online environments, for all projects.

Try It! exercises—Teach readers additional skills or new Office features that are not included within the instructional portion of the chapter.
 
Sequential Pagination—Eliminates confusing letters and abbreviations.

Alert box—Draws students’ attention to make sure they aren’t getting too far off course.

Another Way box—Shows students alternate ways of doing tasks.

More Knowledge box—Expands on a topic by going deeper into the material.

Note box—Points out important items to remember.

Rubric—A matrix that states the criteria and standards for grading student work. Used to grade open-ended assessments.
