Getting Trained
The Web Guys and ITS offer various web-related training—using Drupal, creating web forms, creating accessible webpages and documents, etc.—throughout the semester.
To receive training:
- Request training in a particular area. We use requests to determine when to offer additional training on particular subjects. In addition, when you request training, we will contact you when the training you are interested in becomes available.
- Watch the Campus Memo and the Laurel Leaf for upcoming classes. (Not all classes will be advertised this way.)
We are also developing online training options, but these will take time, and not all subjects will be covered.
