Newly Updated Version available: 2nd Edition of Essential Computing Skills.

This version is no longer available. View the new 2nd edition product page.

Essential Computing Skills combines streamlined content, visually appealing interactive tools, and tiered end-of-lesson exercises to quicken the pace of skill development for every learner.

In today's digital world, knowing how to use computers effectively is critical. Our goal is to teach new users how to take advantage of computer technology and use it to be successful in school and at work. We begin with brief concept discussions and quickly move to hands-on activities focused on skills development. Learners are led through exercises using visually appealing, interactive tools and then they are challenged to complete exercises on their own.

Topics cover computer concepts, Windows, email, using the internet, and cloud computing.

This first edition covers content for both Windows 7 and Windows 8

Features:

  • Highly visual design
  • Videos clarify and reinforce concepts
  • Interactive tutorials engage and guide students
  • Skill-building exercises progress from guided, step-by-step actions to independent projects
  • Online concept quizzes reinforce learning
  • Real-world focus helps students develop practical skills they can apply immediately
  • Video Tutorials: Many topics in this book are associated with a free, supplemental video tutorial that reinforces the concepts covered in this textbook. Topics are clearly marked with a unique video number, which will help you locate the correct video online.
  • Guide Me Tutorials: All Develop Your Skills exercises in this textbook (and some other exercises) feature a free, interactive Guide Me tutorial to reinforce learning. Exercises are clearly identified, which will help you locate the correct tutorial on the Student Resource Center.
  • Optional eLab course for online training and assessment

We recently made the transition to the Labyrinth Microsoft 2013 series with eLab. The transition has been made very easy with the help from the Labyrinth Staff. The students have adapted to the new system with very little difficulty. Students really like the videos and the ease of learning this provides. As an instructor I can see my students work as the progress in eLab and print the gradebook page as my documentation of course completion. I am only beginning to discover all the features of eLab, but quickly learned enough to get started. We look forward to adding additional courses in the future.

Looking at the "Essential Computing Skills" book I have a few observations: I thought it had good information and it explained things nicely, but in the first chapter it's all reading. New users want to use the computer. They fall asleep, get bored or give up if there is too much reading or technical talk. spread that stuff around. Also, this book needs more how to use a program. What I mean by that is you have them creating folders and moving files when they don't even know how to create or save a file yet.
