Training needs
- My office is in Davis Centre (DC), but the Writing Centre is in the Psychology, Anthropology & Sociology (PAS). I often don't have support because I'm not part of an academic department, nor am I part of an administrative department. Typically, I get support because I know who to contact.
- During the year the courses are not timed very well (end of January/February) for a co-op starting in January, for example. We do our our own training for a variety of reasons because our sites are unique.
- Although I do send new users to courses
- we haven't had the opportunity to send someone to take this due to new staffing.
- Training is generally adequate until one has to redo a whole website. We could really benefit by having someone with appropriate knowledge spend time with us during this process.
- Took the Dreamweaver course. Totally lost. This is before I really started working with it. Didn't take the Contribute course. Learned most things on my own.
- I would like to see training on PHP and MySQL
- The training sometimes only shows one way of doing things. Some areas do things differently.
- The Skills for the Electronic Workplace (SEW) courses are good introduction but not advanced enough for programmers/web developers.
- The course content is targeted to a low knowledge base level and/or is hindered by the lack of knowledge of those that attend.
- The training program lacks intermediate and advanced web development attention, especially those who must use programming languages such as php.
- So far I am able to provide content to my webpages which is fairly basic and that's all I have time to do.
- courses seem to be general in nature recently
- training has not meet my needs. one-on-one training would be preferred
- excellent training. very helpful
- I think the SEW courses are great for people with rudimentary or a small amount of knowledge, but for me, I would like to see formal certification for the software packages for more advanced users.
