Some faculty and administrators may want to employ the training modules in establishing basic competency guidelines for students or staff who need to acquire IT skills required in particular disciplines. Please note that the online modules provided through the ELC are intended to supplement the training of students and employees of the University of Cincinnati. Users receive no credit for completing the online course modules. Some credit-bearing courses of the University may make use of these modules as they make use of textbooks and other supplementary materials. Students in such a course should understand that they will receive credit only for fulfilling all of the requirements of the regular course, not for completing the modules, alone.
Training is only half of the picture.
As part of the contract agreement, the University also receives a subscription to Gartner Group's IT advisory and research services. One feature of Advisory Services is monthly research reports, wherein Gartner analysts report their findings about significant IT industry developments and trends. This service covers the entire IT industry - software, hardware, applications development and advanced technologies. Reports are now available for an entire year. UC and Gartner Group are dedicated to continuous improvement of the site, and encourage users to provide feedback.
