Fall 2003 Workshops

OCT and the Provost's Office are pleased to announce the fall schedule of training classes for faculty and staff. This year some new classes are being offered, including Introduction to the Mac OS X, Keeping Your PC Secure, introductory sessions on Powerpoint, Blackboard, Dreamweaver, and Adobe Acrobat. We will also be initiating online registration for the first time. Classes will begin in early October.

Complete details on class descriptions, times, locations, and how to register will be thoroughly explained in the September edition of TechTalk.

Web Announcements

No doubt you have noticed changes in the look of the QC Home Page over the past few months. Many of the pages are beginning to take on a standardized look with a "header" and "footer" that contain basic QC information that remains constant as you navigate from page to page.

Last month we moved our pages over to a new server. This server will allow us to use new technologies and will make the Queens College Web site more dynamic and interactive.

Web sites that are not maintained by OCT's Web Services Group will not be
stored on the new server, but instead on an alternate server called
"qcpages.qc.edu." If you currently have such a page, you can continue
to maintain your Web site as before.

A Web site is a constant work in progress. We intend to keep making improvements. If you have any questions or comments, you may contact the Web Services Group at webmaster@qc.edu.
