Chapter 1: Getting Started with Outlook 2013

PERSONALIZE LEARNING

MyITLab from Pearson is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment product designed to improve results by helping students quickly master concepts, and by providing educators with a robust set of tools for easily gauging and addressing the performance of individuals and classrooms.

 

MyITLab provides learning experiences that engage students using both realistic, high-fidelity simulations of Microsoft Office as well as graded live in-the-application assignments so they can understand concepts more thoroughly. With the ability to approach projects and problems as they would in real life — coupled with tutorials that adapt based on performance — students quickly complete skills they know and get help when and where they need it.

 

For educators, MyITLab provides a reliable learning environment, backed by the Pearson Education 24/7, 99.97% uptime service level agreement, that includes the tools they need to help them track student progress and support the needs of individuals and of the entire class.

 

ENGAGE STUDENTS WITH A PROJECT-BASED APPROACH

GO!’s project-based approach clusters the learning objectives around the projects, rather than around software features. Overall, this approach teaches students to solve real problems as they practice and learn the features.

• Texts are organized by student learning outcomes and numbered objectives with two instructional projects per chapter.
• Students learn important concepts at the teachable moment, with explanations woven right into the steps of the project.
• Each Project Opening Page clearly outlines Project Activities (what the student will do in this project), Project Files (what starting files are needed, and what they will be saved as), and Project Results (what their finished project will look like).

MOTIVATE STUDENTS WITH CLEAR INSTRUCTION

Based on professor and student feedback, this text has been designed to offer clear instruction for full student comprehension.

• Clear Instruction — The steps of each project are written following Microsoft® Procedural Syntax, directing students first on where to go, then what to do when performing tasks
• Clean Design — The pages of the GO! textbook are clean and uncluttered, with lots of screenshots for visual learners
• Sequential Pagination — Pages in the GO! textbooks are numbered sequentially, like every other textbook the student is using, instead of using letters or abbreviations
• Objectives — Page references indicate where each objective is covered
• Another Way — This boxed feature provides students with alternative methods of completing tasks. These boxes are presented in the margin instead of right in line with the steps of the project to avoid confusion
• Color-Coded Steps — To guide students through the projects, steps are color-coded by project
• End-of-Project Icon — Useful in self-paced or online environments, these icons give students a clearly identifiable end point for each project
• Student Videos and Podcasts — Multimedia tools help students learn the material covered in the chapter
