Office Online Projects
Autograded projects for Office Online Apps.
What are Office Online Apps?
Microsoft offers free online versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. While these web apps are easily accessible to students, there is not one-to-one feature parity between the installed version and the Office Online version. SIMnet’s autograded projects are written to assess a student’s knowledge of the installed version of the Microsoft Office apps. However, some students have access to the Office Online version of the apps only. Unfortunately, due to the difference in features, students using the Online Office version cannot be assessed using the auto-graded projects from the textbooks.
For students who have access to the Office Online apps only, existing auto-graded projects from the In Practice and Skills Approach series have been modified by rewriting and removing steps that reference features not currently available in the Office Online version of the apps. Below you will find lists of each Office app and the features that are available in the installed version of the app, but not the Office Online version. In addition, a breakdown of each Office Online project is provided, including all modified and deleted steps.
How do I assign an autograded project for Office Online Apps?
The steps to assign an Office Online Project to a student or class are the same as any other project. In the Projects section in the Course Manager, new Office Online options are available from the Series drop-down list.
