My roommate and I are starting a new student group for Kelley international students, so we need to make a new website for our group. Today Chanitra introduced a website to me: http://ittraining.iu.edu/ an IT Training & Education website for IU students. There are many options available: Instructor-led training (class education in the library), Self-study training (online sources and software), and so on.
For online training, there's a great software free for IU students-Lynda.com. It is just on the home page of the website. I logged in as a student and found the things I need to learn for building the new web page-Dreamweaver and XHTML. There are a lot of PPT and videos available that teach you how to use the software and how to apply it to real examples. Also, the other option is to sign up for an instructor-led session for the software that you are interested in. But I found that the class Tue 3/23/2010 1:30-4:30 for Dreamweaver CS4 the basics workshop's full. However, Chanitra told me that there would be some empty seats for extra people so I could still go.
In addition, Chanitra showed me how the EndNote Web worked together with EndNote Desktop. And I found it's very convenient to use the EndNote Web to insert citation into Word document. Then it occurred to me that I felt people are relying more and more on computers or Internet. When I am on a trip or in a place with no Internet for several days, I always feel that something's missing and I really need to check my email and facebook! So sometimes I wonder what would happen if the Internet breaks down. lol
Anyway, I wish everyone a happy spring break :)
