Introduction:
Welcome to the ETS Technology Training Program! It is our goal that through the many technology training opportunities offered below, you will be able to keep pace with ever changing technology, reduce frustration and become more productive in your work.

The ETS Technology Training Program offers many different development activities designed to provide opportunities for professional growth to every employee of the college community. Offerings fall into the following categories:

General Information:
  • Each Training Track includes “levels”, which are necessary to master the skills in the track, and “specializations” which offer advanced training in a particular facet of the application.
  • Each session description includes a section titled After this session you will be able to: that lists specific measurable objectives and a section titled Apply your skills: that lists tasks you will be able perform upon completion of the session.
  • The learner choose the tracks that lead to desired skill sets.
  • Prerequisites are clearly indicated, so the learner will not duplicate skills already mastered or take sessions for which they are under-prepared.
Registration:
To register for any of the sessions in this schedule, you have several options. Be sure to check the prerequisites to assure a course is right for you.
  • You can now register on-line! Simply go to the Technical Training Catalog web page, and click through to the course and session that you want. Then, fill the information requested into the form and submit it. You will receive a confirmation of your registration by either phone or email.
  • You can send an e-mail to the username HELP. Be sure to include your name, department and extension number along with the session number, date and time of the session(s) you are interested in. You will receive a confirmation by email.
  • If you have questions about sessions or wish to register by phone, call the ETS Help Line, extension 4357 (292-2000 then extension 4357 if off-campus) and follow the voice prompts.

If a class does not have a minimum of three registered students, it may be canceled. If you are interested in a session not on the schedule, please contact Marie Gibson, extension 3436, to arrange a customized session.

Class sizes are limited to seven students, so call and reserve your seat!

Training Schedule:
The current session schedule is available on the “Technical Training Catalog” web page. From the on-line schedule, you will be able to register for the specific course and session that you wish. If you prefer a paper copy of the current training schedule in booklet format, please contact the Help Desk at extension 4357 (option 1). Updated schedules are issued in September, February and June.

Cancellation Policy:
Cancellation should be made no later than two days prior to the scheduled date for all skill building sessions. The courtesy of a cancellation is requested so other members of the College Community may fill the open seat.

Customized Training:
If you have a number of people (4 or more) that would like to take a track or a single session, our preferred method is to design a custom session that will best suit your needs. See Track C: Customized Training for details.

Brown Bag Lunch Sessions:
Education Technology Services offers a series of Brown Bag Lunch Sessions during college hour every fall and spring semester. These sessions discuss a variety of technology topics using a format that combines some presentation of information with a large amount of Q&A. Topics covered in the past have included information on Computer Based Training, Outlook Tips and Tricks, Using 3-D and Virtual Reality in Your Classes, PDA Policies and Support, Video Conferencing, and Smart Classroom Training. Be sure to look in the MCC Daily Tribune or on the Brown Bag Lunch Sessions web page each month for information.
