A series for every learning style

Course Technology Shelly Cashman Series

Course Technology New Perspectives Series

Course Technology Illustrated Series

Millions of users have successfully taught and learned Microsoft Office 2007 skills using the Shelly Cashman Series® trademark pedagogy.

Challenging students to understand the "how" and the "why" of what they're learning is the guiding principle behind the New Perspectives Series

 

More than 15 years ago, a group of instructional designers gathered to develop a computer literacy series that would appeal to a changing demographic of students, those who were driven by a need for visual and engaging content. From that meeting the Illustrated SeriesTM was born.

Learning Brought to Life

Premium Video Editions of our popular Microsoft Office 2007 textbooks enable students to better retain skills by providing audio-visual reinforcement and by applying what they have learned to real-world applications. Premium Video Editions appeal to all types of learners and support various learning styles by offering students a choice in how they learn the skills that are presented.

The enhancements to these editions include:

  • Video Companions offering an extensive collection of short videos that reinforce major concepts and skills covered within the Microsoft Office 2007 textbook. Videos are offered in streaming media and DVD options providing student with flexibility in viewing and learning.
