End User Support, a part of Information Technology, provides training sessions on a wide range of topics. For example:
· SPSS training takes place 10/1/2007, 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM
· SoftChalk Lesson Builder training takes place 10/3/2007, 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM,
· Building Forms with UM’s Web System (Form Builder) training takes place 10/12/2007, 1:30 PM – 5:00 PM
· SPSS MR Interview training takes place 11/19/2007, 1:30 PM – 5:00 PM
SoftChalk Lesson Builder is used to create learning objects containing content, self assessments, activities, and more.
Form Builder is the system that we use in the IAC to register people for our training. It is easy to use, and stores the submissions on the web so that we can download them and import them into Excel.
SPSS MR Interview is the “Market Research” data collection component sold by SPSS. It allows you to create complex and powerful surveys with branching, text replacement, and more. The surveys can be taken online and the results collected and analyzed with SPSS or any other system.
They also offer extensive training on Office, Photoshop, and other topics.
To see their upcoming schedule, go to the https://public.cgcent.miami.edu/eustraining/ web page. Click on the title of any course to begin the registration process.
I realize it may be hard to clear an entire morning or afternoon for training, but I encourage you to use this service, if you can.
