Connecticut College’s Information Services has now joined the growing number of institutions who provide on-line self training for computer software programs. This training is provided through ELEMENTK which is an online resource that has over 1000 self study courses and tutorials and is available to current Connecticut College Faculty, Staff, and Students. Self Study Courses include such titles as Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, Windows XP, Macromedia Dreamweaver and Flash – just to name a few. A self-study course is taken at the student’s convenience, where students can choose their own pace. Most self-study courses display information in small sections which allow students to learn the material incrementally. In this way, they progress through the course at a rate most suited to their needs. In addition, they can repeat lessons as many times as they want, reinforcing the material until it is fully understood.

Information Services also provides software training in a classroom setting throughout each semester.
