looking for your MS Excel opinions to quote in a journal article


Posted by cory mayback on November 06, 2001 12:44 PM

Hello.

I am a graduate student in Instructional Systems
Design for the University of Central Florida in
Orlando. I have almost finished an article for
publishing entitled "Excel at teaching Excel--Ten
great Microsoft Excel teaching tips". I am looking
for a quote from a subject matter expert to include in
my article.

What I have found all over the internet is specific
answers to specific questions, but not anyone's
opinion on what works best when TEACHING Excel.

Please submit your thoughts and opinions on the best methods for teaching Excel -- what you think works well, what doesn't, etc. I will quote you in my article and refer to your article or website.

Please respond ASAP, as the article will be finalized this week.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Cory Mayback

Don't fail to get comments from Aladin Akyurek... who may be asleep right now...

Aladin teaches Excel at a university.

Excel is so large and wide in scope that an overview does little good. Find out what the user wants in an application, then guide them in the skills they need to build what they will use. From this initial costomized Exposure to Excel other skills are easer for the user to acquire. Joe Was
