“Projects today; Skills for Life!”
Coulthard’s Microsoft Office 2013:
ProjectLearn is a new series by McGraw-
Hill focused on a project-based approach for engaging students in learning Microsoft
Office 2013. This approach allows students to focus on the end result and leave the tutorial with quality artifacts from each
Microsoft Office applications. This highly structured series offers students 2 projects per chapter with each chapter varying in the number of lessons presented. Uniquely, each lesson provides a consistent framework for student learning including a lesson overview, skills preview, and a project practice.
Additionally, at the end of each chapter,
Coulthard offers 2 “on your own” projects with each of these projects having 3 “work it out” exercises! By allowing students to work directly within the project experience, they develop a deeper understanding of how these skills are essential to their future careers. Author Glen Coulthard refers to the projects as “artifacts” to develop a project portfolio they can display throughout their careers.
Additionally, ProjectLearn is integrated with SIMnet Online, McGraw-Hill’s online learning and assessment solution, with 1:1 content to help students practice and master computing concepts and Microsoft Office skills. Projects in SIMnet allow students to practice their skills live in the MS
Office application and receive immediate feedback via autograding in the SIMgrader component. This integration with SIMnet helps to meet the diverse needs of students and accommodate individual learning styles. www.mhhe.com/office2013projectlearn
