Use the Learning Wizard as a step-by-step learning guide
To help you learn
Microsoft Project in a step-by-step approach, use
the Learning Wizard. Intuitive guides are always
there to give you a helping hand; advising you what
you should do, why you should be doing it and how to
do it. If you are a complete Microsoft Project
novice, or just wanting a little assistance, the
Learning Wizard is for you.
The image to the right shows the homepage of the
Learning Wizard. From this page you can
continue step-by-step through the wizard or go
directly to the start of a module, with the wizard
always remembering your position whenever you exit
and restart Project Mentor.
Use Lessons to teach yourself how to accomplish practical project objectives
In each of Project Mentor’s 30 lessons, there are a
number of objectives for you to accomplish.
Each of these objectives map to the disciplines
required for managing real projects. As you
progress through the lessons, you will be gaining
skills and abilities, matched to practical project
requirements.
The image to the right
shows Lesson D1 - the first of two lessons within
Module D. Step-by-step instructions are
complemented by audio-video walkthroughs and
realistic sample data.
Within Project Mentor
you will find a comprehensive terminology listing.
Comprising almost 600 definitions, each of
which are themselves interlinked, the terminology
page provides a detailed glossary of keywords and
their meanings. Context-sensitive terminology
links can be found throughout the lesson and
reference pages so that you can immediately find out
what you need to know.
The image to the right shows the Terminology Index.
In this case, terminology definitions have been
accessed by clicking on a context-sensitive keyword
from within Lesson D1. Related keyword
definitions can be found by clicking on keyword
links. Returning to the lesson
is achieved by clicking on the L button on the title
bar.
Use an end-of-lesson quiz for a quick and easy test of knowledge
When you complete a lesson, just test yourself with
a simple quiz. The answers that you receive will
confirm what you have learnt, consolidating your
knowledge in the process.
The image to the right
shows the quiz that concludes Lesson D1. Once
a lesson has been finished, it can be marked as
completed. Completed modules, lessons and
references are highlighted within a navigator pane.
