Last Call for Collage Classes at Annual

Louise Gruenberg — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 16:19:34 +0000

I’m going to take the registration form down tomorrow, so this is your last chance to register yourself for a Collage class at Annual, or alert other members to the opportunity.

There are three Collage classes available during annual conference. Because these sessions are only for member-volunteers, they are not listed in the event catalog. You can see the class descriptions, times & locations here: http://wikis.ala.org/learningcollage/index.php/Current_events ; it is possible to register for a class and/or a help session here: http://alatechtraining.wufoo.com/forms/tech-classes-help-session.

Come to class and get a sneak peek at how the website is going to change based on the new IA & the new design.

Training at Annual Conference 2008

Louise Gruenberg — Thu, 15 May 2008 21:15:31 +0000

There are Collage classes, a wiki class, and lots of one-on-one tech tutorial sessions available during annual conference. Because these sessions are only for member-volunteers, they are not listed in the event catalog. You can see the class descriptions, times & locations here: http://wikis.ala.org/learningcollage/index.php/Current_events ; it is possible to register for a class and/or a help session here: http://alatechtraining.wufoo.com/forms/tech-classes-help-sessions/.

The sessions at mid-winter were very popular and members were enthusiastic about them. We hope that those who update the website or who plan to administer a wiki will take advantage of this opportunity to attend an in-person session.

Please let us know if you think we should continue offering such sessions at conference.

New Training Sessions at Midwinter

Jenny — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 16:03:11 +0000

For the first time and at member request, ITTS will be holding training sessions at the 2008 Midwinter Meeting. The sessions will be taught by Louise Gruenberg, ALA’s trainer, over a period of several days in order to provide as many options as possible. From Louise:

“I will be at Midwinter teaching Collage classes and providing help sessions in Collage, MediaWiki and Online Communities from January 11 through the morning of January 16.

Interested member-volunteers can register using the link below, and should do so ASAP, as sessions will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Those whose registrations are accepted will receive confirmation emails from me.

Please note that members must bring their own wireless-ready notebook computers to class.

If you are an ALA staff liaison, please forward this email with the registration link below to members.

http://creator.zoho.com/itts/2008-midwinter-registration

Please note that we used Zoho Creator for the registration form because we needed something fast, so this part is a bit of an experiment. It’s not ideal, as we can’t make the form as usable as we’d like, but so far it seems to be working well. The biggest issue is that upon submission of your information, the “success” message flashes too quickly, so check your email for a confirmation before resubmitting your data. If you encounter any problems with the Zoho-based form, please let us know.

I can’t believe Midwinter is already here – see you soon.
