New Mastery Series Prepares Learners for On-the-Job Success

BERKELEY, Calif., May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Labyrinth Learning today announced the upcoming release of the Mastery Series, a set of innovative textbooks that prepare learners to master the Microsoft Office 2010 productivity suite and QuickBooks 2010 accounting software.

"The Mastery Series makes it easy for educators to find the right book at the right price for virtually any course," said Brian Favro, president and founder of Labyrinth Learning. "Level 1, 2, and 3 texts are ideal for shorter classes. The Introductory and Advanced texts cover entire applications in more detail, and the Comprehensive texts are designed for semester-long courses."

Highlights of the Mastery Series include:

• Flexible organization. Content is available three ways: comprehensive, full length courses, two-level introductory and advanced courses, and three-level short courses. The series also includes four Office surveys, each of which targets a unique combination of learner skills and course length.
• Innovative design. Smooth, logical transitions from book to book ensure educators can achieve the best combination of depth and breadth.
• Compelling case studies. New case studies feature companies with progressive themes. Content focuses on situations and work environments learners are likely to encounter.
• Easy-to-use content. Student-friendly lessons, web-based software simulations, and assessments all work together to engage learners and foster success.
• Skills mastery. Students master material through a progression of exercises, some of which integrate workforce readiness skills.

Like other Labyrinth Learning texts, the Mastery Series comes with extensive instructor resources, including PowerPoint presentations, solution guides, lecture notes, and more. Many titles are available with eLab, a web-based learning management system (LMS)  that automates course management tasks and lets educators spend more time teaching.

QuickBooks Pro 2010 titles are available now. Microsoft Office 2010 titles are scheduled for availability beginning Fall 2010.
