Click on the Getting Started icon on the ELC home page for an excellent start to using these services. To take full advantage of this unique learning experience, you must complete the online registration form. Currently, there are 109 training modules available, including eleven courses on the Microsoft Office applications, Access, Excel, PowerPoint and Word. 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.
