Are you a student who needs some individual training on a software program? Would you like someone to show you how to add video to a presentation? Or maybe how to add material to your e-portfolio in Chalk & Wire?

You can get training through the Information Commons! Please do not visit the Commons Desk and ask for immediate training, though. Instead, send an email to infocommons@butler.edu and one of our Information Commons Assistants will get back to you to set up an appointment. For more information, visit http://www.butler.edu/infocommons.

Online training materials can be found on the Instructional Technology website, including Online Training, ePortfolio materials, and the Digital Video Support Center.
