Designed for students at a variety of skill levels, Learning Adobe Illustrator CS2 teaches using real-world design examples.

 

The Learning series provides students with a total-immersion, hands-on tutorial that walks them step-by-step, mouse-click by mouse-click, keystroke by keystroke through all the features of the software application. The spiral-bound text contains easy-to-read, appealingly formatted procedural explanations and step-by-step exercises in a multi-part Lesson format.

 

• NEW! Four-color design.
• Shows students how their results should actually look on-screen.
• Step-by-step, mouse-click by mouse-click, keystroke-by-keystroke procedures.
• Enables students to work directly from the text to the screen with confidence, as though the instructor were sitting beside them.
• Hands-on exercises.
• Students learn by doing, gaining practical experience not only with specific skills, but with combining skills into strategies.
• Stay-flat spiral binding.
• Allows the manual to be used easily, right next to the keyboard.

• The Exercise Format

  • Skills Covered
  • Briefly describes how students would use the features of an exercise.
  • Exercise Scenario
  • Puts the exercise into real-world context by asking students to assume the role of someone responsible for a specific task, e.g. an assistant to the organizer of a Web page design conference creating a Web page advertising the conference.
  • Terms
  • Defined at the start of each exercise, and highlighted in the text.
  • Familiarizes students with terminology they'll need to understand in working with the program, and enables them to refer back to individual terms quickly for a refresher.
  • Notes
  • Describes and outlines the computer concepts necessary to understand for each exercise.
  • Procedures
  • Provides students with hands-on mouse and keyboard procedures for each skill.
  • Application Exercise
  • Gives students step-by-step instructions for putting their skills to work.
  • On Your Own
  • Included at the end of each exercise in the Lesson. Provides a critical thinking activity for students to work through on their own—e.g., they must create a flyer or a personal Web page. Students are challenged to come up with data and then additionally challenged to use the data in a document.
  • Provides additional activities for reinforcement, practice, or skill-proficiency testing.
  •  
  • NEW expanded End-of-Lesson Material
  • Comprehensive Summary Exercises with some step-by-step detail.
  • Application Exercises cover all skills in the lesson, but steps aren’t as detailed.
  • Curriculum Integration Exercises integrate other subject areas (Math, English, Social Studies, and Science). Projects on authors, artists, history, politics, and more.
  • The most-challenging of the exercises, Critical Thinking, is a scenario-based project; no specific steps are given. Students are challenged to come up with their own solutions.

This edition will be in four color.

Learning Microsoft Office 2003 Advanced Skills: An Integrated Approach is a total-immersion, hands-on tutorial that teaches students how to use Microsoft Office as an integrated suite, not merely a set of disconnected applications. This approach will enable students to perform complex real-world tasks far more effectively. The author walks students step by step, mouse-click by mouse-click, keystroke by keystroke through each of Microsoft Office 2003's most important integration features and applications. They begin with an overview of integration in Microsoft Office 2003, covering basic skills such as moving data between applications and creating hyperlinks that connect Microsoft Office documents to Internet sites. Through hands-on exercises, they show how to create PowerPoint presentations from Word outlines; embed Excel charts in Word reports; use Outlook contact lists to generate mailing labels for Word mail merges; publish Word reports based on Access queries; and link Excel charts to PowerPoint slides. Next, they move on to specific productivity tasks that benefit from Office integration: for example, generating directories with Word and Access, and linking Excel worksheet data to a Word form letter. The book includes detailed coverage of Web page and Internet integration, ranging from delivering presentations on the Web to creating entire Web sites with Word. A final section presents complex projects that walk users through using multiple Office applications together. Each lesson is comprised of several exercises built around using Microsoft Office in real-life business settings. Most exercises consist of seven key elements: a brief “On the Job” description of how the student would use this feature in the workplace; a realistic exercise scenario; definitions of key terms; concise notes describing and outlining important concepts; hands-on mouse and keyboard procedures; step-by-step instructions for putting the skills to work; and an “On Your Own” critical-thinking activity students can work through on their own, for reinforcement, practice, or to test skills proficiency.
