The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology offers two workshops this week to enhance how you communicate visually. Photoshop CS6: Part 1 introduces you to the basic tools and techniques for editing still images. Camtasia: Level 1 helps you transform “ho-hum” PowerPoint presentations into dynamic online movies—complete with your own narration! Seats are still available for both courses, and the classes are open to faculty, staff, and graduate assistants.
