[Cpcommunicator] ADVISORY: Office 2007 upgrade plans
>From Professional Development and ITS
In order to provide the latest technology to our learning environment,
the College will migrate to Office 2007 this term. This migration is
essential to many course offerings throughout the College and to ensure
compatibility with outside constituents.
As an initial phase of this project, both Office 2003 and 2007 will be
installed in all instructional areas including labs, Student Technology
Centers, and Smart Classrooms. As a proactive step, the College is
installing Microsoft's backward compatibility update to all
workstations. This update allows employees to open files saved in the
new Office format.
To continue the migration, Professional Development in partnership with
ITS will provide training to the College community over the next few
months. The training opportunities will act as an overview, providing a
bridge between the most frequently performed tasks in applications
including Outlook and Word. Additional detailed training will be offered
as the College moves forward with this conversion.
Training sessions will be focused by campus, building, and area to
ensure each department or workgroup is transitioned to the new software
will minimal impact to its operations. Training will also include an
open lab session to provide one-on-one facilitation as needed. After
completing the two-hour training session, employees will have the new
Office 2007 installed on their workstations. This training course will
be listed in LearnerWeb and provide employees with professional
development credit.
The new software will require a hardware upgrade to operate effectively
in the various areas. ITS will coordinate the College's annual desktop
equipment deployments along with the training sessions.
