Instructor Led Power User Training

ITS is also facilitating an instructor led course, taught by ASPE. This course is hosted periodically at the Hill Center for Vanderbilt staff members.  This course is geared towards power users, or those who have to frequently manipulate site content.  ITS charges to recover the cost of this course, which currently runs $977.50 per person. For questions, to register for the course, or to request a full course syllabus, please email merritt.chandler@vanderbilt.edu

Administrator and Developer Training 

Other options for administrators and developers are also available. Some of these are also in SkillSoft, the self-paced resource mentioned above.  There are courses, but also books, searchable within that module for reference.
