The goal of the "O'Leary" series is to give students a basic understanding of computing concepts and to build the skills necessary to ensure that information technology is an advantage in whatever career they choose in life. "The O'Leary Office 2000 Enhanced and Office XP" texts are crafted to be the true step-by-step way for students to 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 Tutorial (chapter) combines conceptual coverage with detailed software-specific instructions. A running case that is featured in each tutorial highlights the real-world applications of each software program and leads students step-by-step from problem to solution.
This lab module offers brief, hands-on introductory coverage of the Lotus 1-2-3 release 2.2 spreadsheet software. This revision includes new exercises and coverage of hard disk computers. The objectives listed at the beginning of each lab module explain the concepts, commands and competencies to be gained in each software application program. The Sports Club case study, used throughout all of the lab modules in the Microprocessing Annual Edition System, places real-world business problems within the context of a health club business environment. Students solve the business problems by using application software (for example, word processing, spreadsheet and database software). Lab activities consist of detailed, step-by-step instrucitons and screen displays to aid students in solving the case study problems. Each lab lesson builds on the previous lesson while the number of screen displays decrease and the insturctions become less specific so studens think about what they have learned, avoid rote learning and become proficient in the concepts and commands presented.
Microsoft Powerpoint 4.0 for Windows

This microcomputer lab manual comprises the 700 pages of lab tutorials found in the "Microcomputing Annual Edition 1994-1995". Each brief lab tutorial consists of a sequence of lab lessons that require about an hour to complete, and describes the most important commands and concepts, as well as explaining why and under what circumstances they are used. Each lab tutorial contains an overview, objectives/competencies, a case study, lab activities, key terms, a command summary, a lab review, a glossary and an index. The overview describes the software program, the generic terms all similar programs use and the case study. The objectives listed at the beginning of each lab module explain the concepts, commands and competencies to be gained in each software application program. The sport's club case study, used throughout all the lab modules in the "Microcomputing Annual Edition System", places real-world business problems within the context of a health club business environment. Students solve the business problems by using application software (such as word processsing, spreadsheet and database software).
Lab activities consist of detailed step-by-step instructions and screen displays to aid students in solving the case study problems. Each lab lesson builds on the previous lesson while the number of screen displays decrease and the instructions become less specific so students think about what they have learned, avoid rote learning and become proficient in the concepts and commands presented. This tutorial can be combined with any Lab Module in the O'Leary "Microcomputing Annual Edition System" and/or the "First Look" series and/or the "Introducing" series, to provide a package of texts to meet an instructor's specific course needs.
