*WATCHING A DEMO CLASS WHILE IN YOUR OFFICE: ECAT is experimenting with
different ways to provide training and classes other than a face-to-face
mode, and will be offering four classes this summer using a
web-conferencing system from the University of Illinois. The class topics
and dates are: An Overview to Dreamweaver 4.0, July 17, 10-11:30; Web
Basics in Photoshop 6, July 31, 9-10:15; Web Basics in Fireworks 4, August
8, 9-10:15; Using the Rotating Script on the AgServer, August 13, 1-2:15.
What is different about these classes is that you take them while in your
office, using a phone (a conference phone call) so you can hear and ask
questions, and AT THE SAME TIME use the browser on your computer to connect
to a special website which will let you see the instructor's computer
screen. The cost of the system is $13 per hour. Following a class each
participant will be billed for the number of minutes the class lasted. More
details about the coverage of each class and its prerequisites are at
http://cals.arizona.edu/ecat/classes/. There is also a link on this page for
the registration form. If you are interested in taking a class using this
system, but the dates are not good for you, send a private email to
ffolinda@cals.arizona.edu.
