Some call the Ivy Tech program one of the University’s greatest employee benefits — full-time and part-time staff can earn, for free, an associate degree of applied science in business administration or a business administration technical certificate through Ivy Tech Community College.
If you want to learn more about this flexible program come to the information session on Wednesday, March 27th.
Happy New Year!

The OIT training department’s New Year’s Resolution is to help you improve your skills and we’ve got the classes to do just that. Our Spring semester of classes is ready for registration at endeavor.nd.edu. You can find the new schedule of classes here.
Are any of these your New Year’s Resolutions?
Do more with spreadsheets. We have classes on everything from Excel Introduction to Formulas and Functions to Macros and even PowerPivot, plus classes in Moving from Excel to Google Sheets.
Do more with photos, videos and audio files. We’re ready to teach you to manipulate your photos, how to prepare digital media and how to create digital signs and movies in software like Photoshop and Spark.
Collaborate easier and more often. Learn how in our Google Drive classes.
Collect and process data more efficiently. Learn to use Google Forms for simple data collection, and Qualtrics Forms for more complex form and survey needs. We have 5 Qualtrics classes now to help you harness the power; our Working with Responses class was divided into Data & Analysis and Reporting.
And if your New Year’s Resolution was just to learn what new apps would be of use to you, come to the Taste of Technology, our mini-conference for campus to learn the secrets of success to popular IT tools. This year it will be held on March 13 (1:00-5:00pm) and March 14 (8:00 am-Noon) in the Mendoza College of Business.

Our new colleagues!
The Fall 2018 schedule of technical training classes is here! We’ve restructured some classes to make them shorter and added some exciting new ones. All these classes are currently available through Endeavor.nd.edu.
Google Drive classes are now 2 hours rather than 3 and we’ve added a new class—Working in Docs, Sheets, and Slides— for people interested in working in Google’s version of Microsoft Office.
Excel 2016 Basic class has been split into two sections—Introduction to Excel and Formulas and Functions. This is the same 7-hour class, but taught as two 3.5-hour sessions that you register for separately.
Other new classes:
Qualtrics classes
We have added two Level II courses (Contact Lists and Embedded Data and Working with Responses) and one Level III course (Workflow).
Data Governance Boot Camp
Learn what data governance is, why it is important to Notre Dame and how it ensures more consistent use of data.
Preparing your Digital Media Files
Learn to prepare your media files for use in media creation programs. This class will show how to perform specific functions (such as trimming video and audio files, capturing still shots from videos, and more) in a number of different applications.
Also added are multiple sections of the most popular classes: Moving from Excel to Sheets and Adobe Spark: Tell Your Story in Posts, Pages and Videos. These classes fill up fast so be sure to register early.
As always, feel free to contact the OIT technical training team with questions or for assistance at 1-7227 or training@nd.edu.
