Colleges face the unique challenge of needing faculty and staff to stay current with the latest technologies and career skills in an effort to perform their jobs and best support our students. We do not have the resources to provide sufficient individualized training or workshops, which makes it challenging for our faulty and staff to make best use of technology.
Did you know that the California Community Colleges Professional Learning Network (Prolearning Network) has training resources and information available for faculty and staff? Yes, They Do, and they have added some valuable training for all faculty and staff!
We are excited that Grovo and lynda.com, premiere training offerings on a wide variety of technical and professional topics, are now available to faculty and staff through the Prolearning Network.
Grovo offers short burst courses (less than 3 minutes, typically) designed around specific topics, such as Excel formulas, adding images to Powerpoint slides, and protecting data while using the cloud.
lynda.com offers in-depth video-based instruction used by a wide range of leading academic institutions. Course topics include most major software programs as well as workplace skills like presentations, leadership and career development. While course topics cover a broad spectrum, you'll find the most general training under the "Business" section. Browse the current full library, and note that new courses and topics are added every week. Below are some recommended courses for all faculty and staff:
