SAM 2003 (Individual Applications)

SAM 2003 for Access
SAM 2003 for Excel
SAM 2003 for PowerPoint
SAM 2003 for Word

NEW addition to the SAM family of products!

We are pleased to bring you the ability to purchase and install SAM for the individual Microsoft® Office applications: Word, Excel, Access and PowerPoint. With a new wizard-driven installer and “smart” access codes, we’re bringing a higher level of flexibility to our widely-popular testing and training software.

Since 1997, SAM (Skills Assessment Manager) has brought hands-on assessment and training combined with objective-based questions to your computer concepts and applications courses. Now, instead of assuming the full installation of all applications, you will be able to fully evaluate students’ knowledge in one particular application.

Features

• Open Simulations: Hands-on, skills based Microsoft® Office and Microsoft Windows XP tasks are so life-like, your students will have trouble distinguishing them from the real thing!
• Closely Tied to Book Content: Just like your Cengage—Course Technology stand-alone applications textbooks, installation of these products includes coverage of Windows XP. This means you can easily create and schedule assignments mapped to the content of the book(s) you use in class.
• Improved Installation: Using an “intelligent” access system, users will now be able to choose whether they’d like to install individual SAM Office applications or the entire Assessment and Training software.
• Flexible Scheduling: SAM’s scheduling system allows you to control when students have access to customized testing or training assignments.
• Powerful Administrative System: Using SAM’s integrated scheduling and grading system, you will be able to schedule assignments, track progress of testing or training, and create reports on a student or class level.
