Cengage's Illustrated Series® Collection, Microsoft® 365® & Office® 2021 Introductory, 1st edition, is fully updated with the latest Microsoft 365 features and enhanced support for Mac users.

Each module begins with a brief overview of the principles covered in the lesson while large, full-color screen images illustrate what students see on their own computers. Module scenarios are based on Burning Glass market insights data and mapped to MOS objectives to engage students and reinforce the critical skills they need for academic and professional success. In addition, MindTap and updated SAM (Skills Assessment Manager) online resources are available to guide additional study and maximize results.
