Learning Style Optimization

Our lessons are optimized for four common learning styles so you can learn using your preferred format(s).

• Visual learners - the lessons are taught using pre-recorded lecture videos and demonstrate how to perform each lesson in Excel
• Auditory learners - the lecture video incorporates the instructor's voice and explanations, plus students have access to live Study Halls and Office Hours for interactive discussions
• Reading learners - lessons include written narrative and explanations of what is discussed in the video, plus all videos are CC captioned (English)
• Kinesthetic learners - lessons include hands-on practice exercises specifically designed to demonstrate and reinforce what is taught in the lecture videos

 

Community & Accountability

Instant access to a community of other Excel users learning and growing just like you. Plus, you can use the scheduled Study Halls as a way to stay accountable to our TAs for making forward progress.

• Study Halls - put these live events in your schedule to hold you accountable
• Office Hours - meet with other students on Zoom during Office Hours
• Student Union - 24/7 access to a community of other Excel users doing exactly what you are doing and learning exactly what you are learning

 

Choose Your Own Adventure

Chart your own course to success by focusing on topics that are new and important to you (and skipping items that you already know or are not relevant to your work).

• Lesson Navigation - the basic lesson sequence is designed so you can work through the lessons in order ... but you are free to skip around as desired
• Gamification - if you choose to play the optional games, they will motivate you to keep making forward progress and offer a fun way to apply what you learned
• Practice Makes Perfect - use the exercise files to practice what you learn, but since they are not graded or turned in, you can skip the hands-on for topics you already know

 

Excel Power User Learning Plan

The Integrated Excel Power User Learning Plan outlines core competencies and references the related lessons. As you complete the related lessons, your interactive learning plan automatically marks the related competency as proficient.

• Competencies - the learning plan defines the core competences needed to be an Excel Power User
• Lessons - each competency is linked to a specific lesson for easy reference
• Proficient - as the defined activities (quiz/exam) are completed, the system marks the related competency as complete/proficient
