  The center offers a "Brown Bag" series which meets for lunch the first Thursday of each month at Noon in Chilton 245. The purpose of this group is to bring faculty members together to share their experiences with distributed learning. One demonstration will be made at each meeting by a faculty member with experience in distributed learning.

• State of Texas Department of Information Resources

  Another possible source of training for staff and, perhaps, faculty members is the Texas Department of Information Resources. A look at their Education and Training website reveals some interesting possibilities. For example, under Conferences, Briefings, and Events is a "Microsoft Training Series" described as "free training classes ... delivered by Microsoft and hosted by DIR as part of the Technology Today Series (TTS)."

• A lot of training information is also available via the Internet. You can search for more training information by using one of the many search facilities available on the World Wide Web such as Google , Dogpile and Alltheweb. It is a good idea to do a search using more than one facility because they don't all work the same way. Using various search facilities maximizes your chances of finding all the available information on your topic of interest.
