LIS is implementing Google Apps for Education at Luther under the name Norse Apps. This online productivity suite includes Luther-branded versions of Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Talk, Google Documents, Google Sites, and iGoogle (Google Start Page). For more information on Norse Apps, see http://helpdesk.luther.edu/go/norseapps.
This training includes the following:
- Switch to Norse Mail during the session
- Compare the new mail interface to Thunderbird
- See the benefits of mail including conversations, integration, and speed
- Use Norse Calendar to create events
- Share calendars with anyone (and everyone)
- Compare the calendar to Oracle Calendar
- Review the other components of Norse Apps including Chat, Documents, Sites, and the Start Page
In order to have hands-on access to a product so that you can experience it yourself, with the guidance of an instructor, skills training is available. The instructor will provide materials so you can follow along and try the exercises yourself. There will also be some time for you to experiment on your own. These sessions are 50-60 minutes in length.
More information on upcoming training is available at http://lis.luther.edu/learn.
