Looking to expand your tech toolkit? Workshops for July include special presentations on cloud computing, creating ePub files, and Adobe Connect. Many thanks to our guest presenters John MacDermott and Anita Mastroieni.
Life in the Cloud: Cloud-based free services are appearing everywhere and growing in popularity. This workshop, presented by John MacDermott, Director of Instructional Technology for the School of Arts and Sciences, is designed for beginner users and will provide an overview of when to use, and when to avoid such services. John will discuss Dropbox, Google Docs, Penn-specific cloud storage and other popular services for storing and sharing your information. He will provide guidelines on privacy concerns and best practices for cloud use.
Creating ePub Documents with InDesign: This session will focus on creating ePub files using Adobe InDesign. Attendees should have solid working knowledge of how to use InDesign. We will discuss workflow, different format options. Jesse will demonstrate converting a traditional InDesign file into a functional ePub for use with various e-readers.
Adobe Connect for Student Outreach: Adobe Connect can provide a robust, flexible way to conduct online orientation and welcome sessions with large groups of students scattered around the world. Dr. Anita Mastroieni, Director of the Graduate Student Center and Family Resource Center, will share her experiences running a successful series of events for incoming graduate students and discuss ways to get started with online outreach events.
