ITS: New Self-Paced Technology Skill resource course now available!

ITS is excited to announce that we are launching a series of Technology training courses!

These courses are designed only to take about 15-30 minutes and can be taken at your own pace. Progress will be saved so you can start and then stop and pick up where you left off.  The purpose of these courses is to help brush up on technology and software skills to highlight how to use them to their full potential. We will release one course each month during the academic year (Fall and Spring semesters). The courses are entirely voluntary and are meant to be a helpful resource.  In each section, you will find at least one Knowledge Base Article (KBA) and a short quiz to complete.

February 2023’s Course is Google Chrome: The Basics. You can self-enroll in the course. 

March’s course will be, “Gmail: The Basics” and April's course will be “Google Calendar: The Basics”.

We will send out blog posts (Subscribe to the blog) and MC Announcements when the other courses will be open.
