Training and Workshops
The IT staff provides one-on-one assistance and training on a variety of topics. We are working to create a curiculum of brief workshops that will address topics of current interest. The workshops that we offer are for New River employees and students only. They are not credit-bearing workshops and are not part of any New River courses available to the public. They are intended only to serve as professional development for employees and for informational purposes for students. Often, we are asked "How do I..." questions for a variety of issues. As we document the procedual steps for completing various tasks we document them as quicksteps so that others can benefit from the information. When we can package together enough QuickSteps to make a workshop, we do that.
