Lunch Bag Sessions

The Purpose of These Sessions

 
 

These classes are designed to provide instruction on the software and aspects of the Data Warehouse. We realize that the world of the warehouse is complicated and sometimes a little extra instruction is helpful.  These are not typical classes. You don’t have to travel any farther than your nearest computer. Our classes will be held on-line using a technology called Adobe Presenter. This software has the ability to broadcast presentations, live programs, audio, video and many other things. We call them “Lunch Bag Sessions” because they will be held during lunchtime, hopefully facilitating better attendance due to more availability. Classes will cover a range of topics from beginner to advanced. The classes covering basic functions of the warehouse will be offered on a regular basis, and special classes will be offered as situations or demands call for it.

Requirements

There are some specific requirements you must meet before you can attend these classes.
Your computer must:
               - Have the latest version of Adobe Flash installed on your computer. The link to this is available on our website at http://dw.neric.org/Tutorials.htm

               - Be able to move beyond any firewall that is installed in your district network.
