OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT VICE CHANCELLOR - HUMAN RESOURCES April 30, 1998 ALL AT UCSD (Including the UCSD Medical Centers) SUBJECT: Announcing WebBT (web-based training) http://www-cbt.ucsd.edu This notice is to inform you of an exciting new initiative to provide information systems training to faculty, staff and students at UCSD. Innovative web-based training resources have been acquired from CBT Systems, a provider of computer-based training to several major U.S. corporations, and customized for UCSD users as a collaborative effort of Academic Computing Services, Administrative Computing and Telecommunications, the Human Resources Department, and the UCSD Medical Center. WebBT offers three hundred interactive multimedia training applications that can be used directly via the web or downloaded for use on local PCs. Courseware ranges from the full Office 97 suite, including Microsoft FrontPage, to the training necessary to prepare for certification as a network engineer using Novell or Microsoft NT. A complete list of training applications is found at http://www-cbt.ucsd.edu/applist.html. WebBT is available for Windows users, and it is anticipated that users of other platforms will have access in the future. System support for WebBT will begin at the local department level, and system administrators may contact Academic Computing Services for further assistance. The scope and value of WebBT is a reflection of the commitment of all of its sponsors to support easy access to information systems training when you need it, at work or at home via a UCSD dial-in connection. Congratulations to everyone who contributed to bringing this valuable asset to the university community. Rogers Davis Assistant Vice Chancellor - Human Resources |
