OMERAD Faculty Development Seminar Series 2007-2008

Technology Training for Medical Education:
Skills for Online Instruction

The OMERAD Faculty Development Seminar Series focuses on helping faculty and staff develop skills to further medical education. This year we will be focusing on skills for online instruction. Participants will learn tips and tricks with ANGEL, how to use Adobe Acrobat Connect (formerly Breeze Live) for web-based video conferencing, capturing lectures in Camtasia Studio, and the ever-popular seminar on how to create a poster using PowerPoint.

The series, conducted by experienced OMERAD faculty and staff, uses the validated format of hands-on training sessions, individual practice with instructor support, and take-home training materials. Sessions will be held in the OMERAD Training Center, located in A211 East Fee Hall. All faculty and staff are welcome to attend.

You must be familiar with basic mouse, keyboard and Windows skills to participate in the seminar series.
