Quick Navigation

Overview

Wilson's ILLUSTRATED MICROSOFT® 365® ACCESS® COMPREHENSIVE, FIRST EDITION, is updated with the latest Microsoft 365 features and enhanced support for Mac users in introductory level modules. Its concise, student-friendly approach to learning Microsoft Office uses a proven two-page layout that enables learners to focus on discrete Office skills as they complete module readings. Modules begin with an overview of principles covered in the lesson while large, full-color images illustrate what students see on their own computers. Module scenarios are based on data from market insights and mapped to Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) objectives to engage students and reinforce the critical skills they need for academic and professional success. In addition, MindTap and updated SAM (Skills Assessment Manager) digital resources are available to guide additional study and maximize results.
