Tip 1 (Week 1 Winter 2012): Calendar Overview & Layout

Welcome back to another exciting round of Tech Tips.  This quarter we're going to incorporate some live interactive sessions in with the Tech Tips format we already have.  We'll still maintain the blog with screen shots and text, but the interactive sessions will allow a question and answer format along with video examples.

Here's a link to where we'll host the video sessions: https://adobeconnect.oit.ohio.edu/techtips/

Now, onto Tech Tip 1 Winter 2012.

This intended to just familiarize everyone with the calendar and highlight some of the tools we'll be using this quarter.  This is going to be pretty basic with the emphasis this week really being on making sure those interested in the video sessions can login and manipulate their workstations as needed.  So, there is nothing needed for completion this week other than reading the blog and checking yourself off the list.

Here are some screen captures of the interface we'll be using this quarter.  Your personal calendar is the majority of the screen.  And, it's display is based or your choice of arrangement at the top.

Please familiarize yourself with the ribbon and its controls.  This, and the calendar itself will be the origin of many activities this quarter.

That's it for this week.  Just wanted to cover what we'll be using.  Please join Monday if you'd like to explore how the live video sessions will run.
