Office 365 Productivity and Collaboration

This unit develops intermediate Office 365 skills focused on document and presentation layout, visual communication, and cloud-based collaboration. Students will format and refine Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, create charts and diagrams, manage files across Teams and OneDrive, and use review and sharing tools to prepare professional deliverables.

Learning Objectives

• Apply advanced layout and formatting techniques in Word and PowerPoint (frames, styles, text fitting, page decoration, slide backgrounds, and text boxes) to produce cohesive, professional documents and presentations.
• Create and modify charts, diagrams, shapes, connectors, and images and select appropriate chart types to visually communicate worksheet and document data.
• Demonstrate collaborative workflows and file-management procedures in Office 365 by creating, uploading, sharing, and syncing files in Teams and OneDrive, managing team sites, scheduling meetings, and distributing documents as PDFs.
• Manage and prepare worksheet data for analysis and output by entering data efficiently, applying basic formulas, configuring print settings, organizing lists, and using review features (track changes, Editor, collapse/expand) to refine content.
