| Teach the course YOU want in LESS TIME! The primary goal of the GO! Series, aside from teaching computer applications, is ease of implementation, with an approach that is based on clearly-defined projects for students and a one of a kind supplements package.
The goals of the GO! Series are as follows:
-
Make it easy for the instructor to implement in any instructional setting through high-quality content and instructional aids and provide the student with a valuable, interesting, important, satisfying, and clearly defined learning experience.
-

-
Completely self-paced, individualized instruction Students complete all instruction in an instructor-staffed lab setting.

Teachto maximize the moment. The GO! Series is based on the Teachable Moment Theory. There are no long passages of text; instead, concepts are woven into the steps at the teachable moment. Students always know what they need to do and where to do it.
Our overall philosophy is ease of implementation for the instructor, whether instruction is via lecture, lab, online, or partially self-paced. Right from the start, the GO! Series was created with constant input from professors just like you. You've told us what works, how you teach, and what we can do to make your classroom time problem free, creative, and smooth runningto allow you to concentrate on not what you are teaching from but who you are teaching toyour students. We feel that we have succeeded with the GO! Series. Our aim is to make this instruction high quality in both content and presentation and to make the classroom management aids completean instructor could begin teaching the course with only 15 minutes advance notice. An instructor could leave the classroom or computer lab and students would know exactly how to proceed in the text, know exactly what to produce to demonstrate mastery of the objectives, and feel that they had achieved success in their learning. Indeed, this philosophy is essential for real-world use in today's diverse educational environment. |
