Gregg College Keyboarding and Document Processing (GDP), 11e by Ober, Johnson, and Zimmerly: Your complete learning/teaching system. Your guide to success. GDP/11 is an integrated keyboarding system designed to process and score documents created in Microsoft Word. Together, the book and software systematically lead students through each lesson to provide an easy path to success. As a solid product for over 50 years, this version of the GDP software has grown into an online functionality. The same program is now web-based with seamless updates to provide greater accessibility for use at home, in class, and in labs - perfect for distance learning! Strong enhancements to the book while maintaining key elements including integrated language arts (starting at lesson 21) support the cohesive program's strong content. Skillbuilding is reinforced with MAP+ (Misstroke Analysis and Prescription). MAP+ is an individualized, diagnostic tool that is built into the software to help identify student's strengths and weaknesses while providing prescriptive drills to help them practice where they need it most. Also, MAP+ now has new, unlimited drill lines that begin at Lesson 1. Additionally, GDP/11 automatically scores for keyboarding errors and now formatting errors too! As a result, instructors will appreciate the customization of course management tools in GDP/11, including the new GPS (Grade Posting System) which allows complete flexibility in setting up grades. GDP/11 your complete learning/teaching system. Your guide to success.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sale with no-sufficient info, November 9, 2008

The real kit of Gregg College Keyboarding contents: Text(1 book), manual(small book, around 200 pages-very necessary in class!) and a CD. At the College Bookstore, cost abot $110 (plus sale tax)

What I bought by Amazon, for $75+shipping, was ONLY the text book. No CD, no manual.It wasn't clear on the ad that the "kit" is incomplete.

If I should know this fact, before purchasing, I would never buy this product.

I thought to send the whole box back, but I do not want to invest other$ 128 for the same purpose. Now, I use a copy/ scanned version of the manual in class, and I don't make homeworks at home ( without CD)

Next time, I'll be more carefully when buying second-hand books.

1.0 out of 5 stars The "Online" program keeps having errors, September 6, 2011

So you finish typing and oh look...the red screen that has a "Communication Error" eats all the work you just did. You can not get it back. I have had over 15 errors in 3 days. I am continually redoing work because of these errors. In addition sometimes it skips a Lesson area and so your typing in area D when you should be typing in C, no way to move your work. The program has major buggs. If it wasnt required for class I would never ever purchased it. PS teachers do not care if you have to do the work a zillion times!
