More than fifteen years ago, a group of instructional designers gathered to develop a computer literacy series that would appeal to a changing demographic of students, ones who were driven by a need for visual and engaging content.  From that meeting the Illustrated Series was born—its approach is simple:

  • A text which is appropriate for multiple levels of learners, from novices to seasoned veterans.
  • A streamlined format presents each lesson on a two-page spread, with step-by-step instructions on the left, and oversized screen illustrations on the right.
  • Books are easy-to-follow, easy-to-absorb and a great reference tool.

 

Educators love the Illustrated Series because…

"…of the graphical nature of each text. Students can constantly be reassured that they are on the right track. For those students that are visual learners, this is of the utmost importance."
- Michael Martel, Professor of MIS, Ohio University

"…the illustrations and screen shots describe steps a lot easier than any instructor can."
- Terry Zimmerman, Adjunct Instructor, Central Georgia Technical College

"…it gets the job done in a clear and accessible fashion. It guides students through the key operations of the software, while teaching the "big picture" of integrating their skills in a real world project."
- Michael Cokkinos, Associate Professor, Fashion Institute of Technology

"…it is easy for students to understand, so they learn instead of getting frustrated. I love that the text, illustrations and instructions are either on the same page or a facing page; so students do not have to keep turning the page back and forth to see the illustration to which the text is referring."
- Elaine Eshom, Associate Faculty - Business Dept, Mt. San Jacinto College

"...because students love it! There are clear illustrations at every step to help students feel comfortable that they are performing the exercises correctly. And, as with all the Course Technology books, there are abundant instructor resources provided."
- Letty Barnes, Faculty, Lake Washington Technical College
