SAM Integration - As part of our intuitive design, the readings are closely aligned with SAM (Skills Assessment Manager) Trainings, Exams, and Projects to reflect up-to-date and essential Office 365 and Excel 365features. With a focus on more practice opportunities, SAM Projects have Textbook Projects for all module levels (Introduction, Intermediate, and Advanced). To help students utilize textbook projects fully, a SAM icon is 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 SAM End-of-Module Projects, which are based on the Independent Challenges found in each module and offer full auto grading. With a variety of easy-to-use assessments, students will be able to demonstrate their understanding of Excel skills quickly and efficiently.
