Lunch Bag Sessions- Spring 2009
|
|
| |
The Purpose of These Sessions |
|
| |
These classes are designed to
provide instruction on the software and aspects of the
Data Warehouse. We realize that the world of the warehouse
is complicated and sometimes a little extra instruction is
helpful. These are not typical classes. You don’t have to
travel any farther than your nearest computer. Our classes
will be held on-line using a technology called Adobe
Presenter. This software has the ability to broadcast
presentations, live programs, audio, video and many other
things. We call them “Lunch Bag Sessions” because they
will be held during lunchtime, hopefully facilitating
better attendance due to more availability. Classes will
cover a range of topics from beginner to advanced. The
classes covering basic functions of the warehouse will be
offered on a regular basis, and special classes will be
offered as situations or demands call for it.
Requirements
There are some specific
requirements you must meet before you can attend these
classes.

is installed in your district network. There will be a
test meeting room that you will need to be able to enter
