Learning opportunities to help faculty, students, and staff prepare for semester

Penn State faculty, students, and staff can take advantage of a variety of learning opportunities to be offered from January 3-6, in preparation for the spring 2012 semester. Topics include ANGEL, accessibility, Access, Excel, Penn State's new calendar and e-mail system (University Collaboration Suite), and more. Tim Plumer, senior solutions engineer at Adobe, will conduct sessions on accessibility features of Adobe products, and Jennifer Jortner from lynda.com will conduct a session on enhanced features of the online tutorials available through lynda.com at Penn State. Many sessions will be offered online through Meeting@PennState (powered by Adobe Connect) for those who are unable to attend in person.
