SOFTWARE TIP OF THE WEEK
OTS Training is pleased to announce the addition of two new learning opportunities beginning in January 2011 for faculty, staff and students: Ask the PC Tech Trainer and Ask the Mac Tech Trainer.

During this time, you can obtain training on the following: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Windows XP, Vista or 7 or any other TU-supported software package.
Ask the Mac Tech Trainer
If you are a Mac user on campus and need some one-on-one time with a Mac trainer, the “Ask the Mac Tech Trainer” open lab is designed for you.
