New Perspectives Collection, Microsoft® 365® & Office® 2021 Intermediate (K12 Binding)

Quality Learning! This series goes beyond learning Office applications by providing contextual relevance with a trusted and proven pedagogy combined with real world scenarios and assessments. With a deeper focus on employability, this new edition demonstrates real world relevance and professionalism with all-new case scenarios written to reflect the top industries hiring for Microsoft Office skills. The New Perspectives Series’ critical-thinking, problem-solving approach has a case-based pedagogy built around realistic business scenarios. This is the ideal way to prepare students to transcend point-and-click skills and take advantage of all that Microsoft Office 2021 has to offer. The new edition gives students the software concepts and practical skills they need to succeed beyond the classroom. With the New Perspectives Series, students understand why they are learning what they are learning and are prepared to apply their skills and solve problems in real-life situations.

Easy! As part of our new intuitive design, the updated readings are now closely aligned with SAM (Skills Assessment Manager) Trainings, Exams, and Projects to reflect the latest and greatest Office 365 and Office 2021 features. With a focus on more practice opportunities, SAM Projects have expanded Textbook Projects to all module levels (Introduction, Intermediate, and Advanced). To help students utilize Textbook Projects fully, a new SAM icon is now embedded in the readings. The icon indicates when a student should download their files from SAM or MindTap to start a Textbook Project, and when they should upload their completed Textbook Project for instantaneous grading and feedback. There are also new SAM End-of-Module Projects, which are based on the Case Problems found in each module and offer full auto grading. With a variety of easy-to-use assessments, students will be able to quickly and efficiently demonstrate their understanding of Office.

Career Readiness Module in MindTap, the online solution for CTE, includes "Using Resume Assistant Powered by LinkedIN in Microsoft Word" and "Building an Online Portfolio Using Pathbrite" readings.

Updated SAM Content Player includes a Guide overlay replacing the previous Intro mode for Office Tasks.

Additional Auto-Graded projects via SAM and MindTap with SAM offers 2 additional projects previously only available in print per Office Module.
