Introducing Microsoft Lync
Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity to take advantage of a communications package that allows you to communicate with your colleagues here at Towson University or with people in different locations or time zones. This package is called Microsoft Lync.
With Lync you have the ability to instant message, to conduct conference calls, to conduct online meetings (for office hours, interviews, staff meetings, etc.), to share resources (Word document, PowerPoint presentation, etc.) and much more. Click the link below to learn this new software package through a blended learning format (using the most effective training methodology to learn specific objectives). Follow the step by step training process from the comfort of your workstation or home which includes videos, a self-help document and an assessment to learn the basics of Lync.
