Glen Coulthard; Microsoft Office 2013: ProjectLearn
"Projects today; Skills for Life "

Coulthard's Microsoft Office 2013: ProjectLearn is a new series by McGraw-Hill with a project-based approach to engaging students in learning Microsoft Office 2013. This approach allows students to focus on the end result and complete the tutorial for each Microsoft Office application with quality "artifacts" -- projects that help students develop a portfolio they can display throughout their careers. This highly structured series offers students two projects per chapter with a varying number of lessons. Uniquely, each lesson provides a consistent framework for student learning including a lesson overview, skills preview, and project practice. At the end of each chapter, Coulthard offers two "on your own" projects that each have three "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.

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.
