The O’Leary Office 2007 text is crafted to allow students to easily develop Microsoft Office application skills. The text design emphasizes step-by-step instructions with full screen captures that illustrate the results of each step performed. Each Lab, designed to be covered in 1 hour of class time, combines conceptual coverage with detailed software-specific instructions. Each Lab opens with a running case study that highlights real-world applications of each software program and leads students from problem to solution.
By the end of this lab students should know how to:
Explain the six part of an information system: people, procedures, software, hardware, data, and connectivity.
Distinguish application software from system software.
Distinguish four kinds of computers – microcomputer, minicomputer, mainframe, and supercomputer – and describe hardware devices for input, processing, storage, and output.
Describe document, worksheet, database, and presentation files.
Explain computer connectivity, the wireless revolution, and the Internet.
