Author Description

"The Exploring Series keeps students at the forefront of project and content creation by focusing on the skills, functionality, and concepts of Microsoft 365 that are needed to succeed in a cloud-based world. Students are challenged to think "beyond the point and click" and to learn to adapt as productivity tools and apps continually update and change. The goal of the Exploring Series is to provide more than the steps to accomplish a task. The Exploring Series strives to explain the skills in real-life context so students understand not just how to apply a skill but when and why to use the skill. The visual design presents the theory content on white pages and the Hands-On Exercises on yellow pages. Students can easily jump between the pages using step cues and hyperlinks if they want to access a Hands-On Exercise from the white pages or need a reminder of the why from the white pages as they work on a Hands-On Exercise. With this understanding, students know which application, function, or feature to use to achieve specific goals and to critically solve problems in academic work and future career roles"--
