- Prerequisites/Audience
Students who enroll in the Complete Guide to Microsoft Outlook 2007 should have basic computer skills, including how to turn on the computer, how to use an Internet browser, and how to select commands from a menu or toolbar. Students should know how to save files and send attachments by email as well.
The Complete Guide to Microsoft Outlook 2007 is for students to improve their level and breadth of knowledge with Microsoft Outlook functions in preparation for taking the Microsoft Certification Exam. The course includes both recall and authentic assessments to measure student understanding at an increasingly advanced level. Students will be working hands-on with the commands and completing sample projects to reinforce learning. This course does not rely on abstract learning, but on the program in context.
The primary instruction is related to business applications of Outlook, as Microsoft Outlook is used in most workplaces. Nearly every business has a use for Microsoft Office programs, from inter-office memos composed on Microsoft Word to Sales presentations created with Microsoft PowerPoint to Budget spreadsheets compiled in Microsoft Excel. A secondary target group is teachers, who can use Microsoft Office for both teacher preparation and record-keeping as well as in student assignments. Lastly, home users may find many uses for Microsoft Office, similar to those used in the workplace. Microsoft Office is a ubiquitous product with great possibilities. This course aims to expose users to those possibilities.
Students for the certification exams should have the equivalent of six months of hands-on computer experience before taking the exam. These exam candidates should be proficient at file management. In addition, students should be able to readily identify and use the commands for at least 80% of the exam objectives in preparation for taking the timed exam. Amongst the skills necessary, students should be especially effective at entering information and analyzing data. Successful students will have mastered how to create and edit formulas, audit equations, insert and format visual data presentations and present information in charts and tables.
