Do we need to form a Training Sub-committee?

admin October 24th, 2007

Some questions that were raised during discussions:

  • What would be the formal charge?
  • Is the institution prepared for the future?
  • Do users feel they have the training they need?

Training at NSCC Background

  • AT provides instructional design and not neccessarily training.  Ideally faculty would receive software training elsewhere and leave AT to concentrate on instructional design with faculty members
  • HR provides basic Microsoft Office training (word, excel, powerpoint) and not typically advanced courses
  • IS provides training for core applications (GroupWise, Pipeline, Office)
  • IS provides new employee training (an orientation to our portal, web site and email system)
  • IS picks up all remaining requests for training and either provides the training or coordinates with HR (performed by IS Academic Lab Supervisor/Training Specialist)
