Abstract
Online software and technology training is a flexible, cost-effective way to train users on a myriad of commonly used software applications. With step-by-step instruction on everything from Microsoft Office, to Blackboard, to Adobe Dreamweaver and more, these web-based tools enable users to access training resources, on demand, to learn, practice and reinforce essential software skills.

  • Engage students and increase performance and retention
  • Boost technology integration amongst faculty and staff
