Exploring Getting Started with Microsoft Outlook 2016
Exploring for Office 2016 Series

This is a one-chapter book that gives a brief overview of Microsoft Outlook 2016, focusing on email communication.

Beyond point-and-click

The goal of the Exploring series is to move students beyond the point-and-click, to understanding the why and how behind each skill. And because so much learning takes place outside of the classroom, this series provides learning tools that students can access anywhere, anytime. Students go to college now with a different set of skills than they did years ago. With this in mind, the Exploring series seeks to move students beyond the basics of the software at a faster pace, without sacrificing coverage of the fundamental skills that everyone needs to know.

• Case Study presents a scenario for the chapter, creating a story that ties the Hands-On Exercises together.
• Hands-On Exercise Videos–tied to each Hands-On Exercise–walk students through the steps of the exercise while weaving in conceptual information related to the Case Study and objectives.
• The Outcomes focus keep both students and instructors aware of the higher-level learning goals and how those are achieved through discreet objectives and skills.
• Outcomes are presented at the beginning of each chapter, identifying the learning goals that will be achieved in the material ahead.
