This course was designed to teach you how to successfully use MS Visio 2016, no matter if you've ever used the program before or not. Both the beginner and seasoned Visio user can benefit from this course, starting with the basics of the program and continuing on to more advanced features. You do not need to have access to MS Visio 2016 to take or complete this course. However, it is recommended.
We've broken this course down into multiple lessons to make it easier for students to study and practice the program. Each lesson details different features of Visio 2016 and provides step-by-step instructions on how to use them. At the end of each lesson, you will find a lesson exercise and lesson assignment.
The lesson exercises were designed to test you on the material presented in that lesson. Lesson exercises are graded; therefore, they are mandatory. Lesson assignments give you a chance to practice what you've learned in the lesson by using Visio 2016. These are optional and do not affect your grade, but it is encouraged that every student tries to complete them.
There is also a course project included with the course. As with lesson assignments, the course project is optional. It was created to help you tie everything you will learn in the course together, and use those skills to create a complete presentation. You will find instructions for the course project after lessons four, eight, and twelve.
