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, and iGoogle (Google Start Page). All faculty and staff are to move to Norse Apps by December 31, 2008. All students have already moved.
This LIS training covers the Calendar components of Norse Apps. The Norse Calendar will be the primary campus calendar (replacing Oracle Calendar) as of January 1, 2009.
All faculty and staff are welcome to attend this session, though you are expected to have a Norse Apps account created in order to fully participate. To obtain an account, attend a Norse Mail session or contact the LIS Technology Help Desk at 563-387-1000.
We will use Norse Calendar to create events, share calendars with anyone (and everyone), and compare it to Oracle Calendar.
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 and instruction sessions is available at http://lis.luther.edu/learn.
