Nowadays, with IT evolving so quickly, it is not easy to keep up with the new technologies available and hence may miss on information, knowledge, solutions which could help on our daily computing needs or increase productivity of our office work; or even saving us from falling into the clever counterfeiting spam security traps.
Across the year, ITSC arranges workshops and seminars to update students and staff on various IT areas e.g. technology trends, productivity tools, computing awareness, University's ICT environment and services.
To recap on seminars held in 2012:
- February: Education campaign on personal data privacy protection (Booth at academic concourse and briefing sessions for staff and student)
- April: IT Seminar on MS Windows and MS Office (for staff and students)
Materials for these seminars are available from the ITSC website: http://www.ust.hk/itsc/training/. You are welcome to take a look if you have missed these sessions.
In the past, we have heard from different offices with the need to know how to manage and do simple updates to their department webpages. A survey was carried out in April to understand more of the need and topics of interest to the different offices. Basing on the survey results, two classes of 2-days Adobe Dreamweaver training workshops, conducted by external professional trainer, were held for staff in June and July. There was an overwhelming response and over 170 registrations were received for the 80 available seats.
In the coming months, ITSC shall continue to organise a wide variety of seminars and trainings to staff and students. Please stay tuned to our announcements. In the meantime, should you have any training suggestions, we would be most happy to hear them. Please send an email to CCLISTEN@ust.hk.
