New Book: Microsoft Word Introduction and Certification Study Guide

Anyone who follows this blog knows that I have many interests and find ways to develop them into training materials... like blog posts, staff training, conference presentations around the world and even textbooks! Today's posts will unveil my latest project(s)!

I have developed a new certification study guide for a topic that is not directly related to the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry.

Presenting my newest book:
Microsoft Word Introduction and Certification Study Guide (Microsoft 365 Apps and Office 2019)

I feel this offering is very special in that I used my skills as an architect (WI) to develop compelling graphics which will help students better understand multi-step tasks. Additionally, as an educator, I know students have different learning styles. So this book also comes with 95 videos, 75 flashcards and software! Yes, the book comes with a practice exam that mimics the real exam.

Key Features

• Explains the exam process
• Covers the six main categories of the exam
• Includes practice exam software, videos and flashcards
• Reviews the Word user interface and terminology
• Covers the basics and more complex features of Word

I wanted to share the issue/solution and the (not so) hidden value of the Autodesk beta project:)
