The book shows students how to customize features of Windows to make it work better for them, and how to change the look and sound of Windows to make computing more enjoyable. (I have been careful to craft the hands-on exercises in these sections so that they can be used in a computer lab.)
Because the Internet is so much a part of today's computing experience, the book shows readers how to set up an Internet connection and use Windows 2000's built-in browser, Internet Explorer. Once students complete the text they will have acquired the knowledge they will need to approach the learning of application programs with confidence.
Most Windows boks assess students' understanding of the material through objective questions at the end of the chapter or through written tests. Students can often answer such questions and still not be able to do the tasks the chapter is meant to teach. Quick, Simple Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional is task-oriented. Unit 2 teaches students how to work with program and capture and print screens. The end-of-chapter projects from that point on make use of screens, and demonstrate that really understand the lesson This applied, task-orientad learning works equally well with on-campus students and with distance learners.
