Instructional Technology Posts Spring Workshops

Instructional Technology is pleased to announce its Spring 2008 workshop schedule for the Washington College community. This schedule is our most exciting to date and we really think you will like what you find when you visit the Training & Tutorials page:

Following our October training survey, we learned some very important things about what you would like to see from our workshops. You wanted shorter workshops to better fit in your busy schedules. You also wanted workshops that take place in the late afternoon on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Finally, you asked for our workshops to be offered several times throughout the semester to have more chances to enroll.

We are very happy to say that we've addressed all of these wishes for this Spring. Workshops are now being offered in 60 minute blocks from 2:30 - 4:30 when possible. We've scheduled them on Wednesdays and Thursdays during this semester, with three chances to catch your favorite workshop, in most cases.

We've even created some brand new workshops. Tech Tidbits are snack sized (30 minutes) workshops on technology tasks that you can attend during your lunch break. They'll cover topics like uploading videos to YouTube, posting pictures to Flickr and getting the best results with video and photography. We are also offering a Photoshop workshop tailored just for researchers and a workshop of Mac basics called "Get To Know Mac."

Overall, we are very pleased with this new semester's offerings and cannot wait to start teaching.
