The following list contains a link to an applications page which contains:
- Workshop Descriptions
- Manuals & Quick Start Guides
- Website Resources
(1) Workshop Descriptions lists the title, recommended audience, length, and objective. They are designated as “Core” (essential to your job/title) or “Elective” (a professional development option.) All workshops are free and are limited to 2 hours or less in length. To register for a workshop, see the Workshops and Training Schedules page.
(2) Manuals & Quick Start Guides are in .pdf format. If you need to distribute them to a Villanova University class or administrative department, please feel free. Many are from either UNIT, Element K's Kcards or Custom Guide (they have more on their website you can download for free.)
(3) Website Resources for tips and training instruction. In addition to clicking the application's HELP icon, the vendor usually has a "Support" site which may contain manuals, training videos, etc. In other instances, video training may appear on a University site, and where appropriate, those sites are listed. If you find a site is no longer valid, or have one you'd like to see listed here, please contact Diane McCullough.
