OIT Workshop Schedule and Registration Form
Training workshops are offered by OIT throughout the year for WVU staff, faculty, and students; new schedules are posted a few weeks before the beginning of each term. Most of the workshops listed in our collection of handouts are available by special request to WVU groups, subject to training lab and trainer availability.
Note: due to the eCampus Upgrade Project and the Email Upgrade Project, our regular training schedule will include fewer workshops than usual during the Summer 2013 and Fall 2013 terms. Please feel free to continue to contact the OIT training team about your learning needs as we may be able to point you to alternative resources.
For more information about the sessions, click on the link of each workshop title to read its description or workshop handouts. Please register before 4pm on the workday preceding the session; late registrants are not guaranteed confirmations or login information.

Information for Attendees
- Pre-register: please register for all workshops and webinars by 4pm on the day before the session (Friday for Monday workshops). Walk-ins are discouraged but will be accommodated if a seat is available. Last minute registrations for webinars might result in not receiving login information in a timely fashion.

Online workshops will be conducted in either WVU eCampus or in Wimba Classroom. WVU eCampus is one of the University’s official course management systems (Blackboard Vista 8.x). Wimba Classroom is a web conference tool where participants can login from home or office using a certified web browser. More details on workshop locations and parking alternatives
- Prerequisites:
Although some courses precede all other courses in a subject area, you are not absolutely required to have taken that course to take a higher level course. In other words, you may already have mastered the prerequisite skills by some other means. However it is critical that you have mastered these prerequisite skills before attending a course. If you attend a course and are not prepared, the instructor might not be able to successfully cover all of the workshop objectives for the other students or you will be unable to keep up with the session. Please read the prerequisites and the workshop descriptions carefully as you consider registering for a workshop.
