Web Development skills can be used to create personal portfolios, online resumes, spotlight research or create a web presence for any number of special projects. .Consider a website creation workshop to introduce your department, faculty or students to these important technical skills. Software can include proprietary software or open source tools, such as Wordpress, Weebly, Wix or others. (we recommend going through GT Sites for Wordpress and others)
Not only does the library provide this technical training, but a wide variety of software is freely available in the Library's 3rd floor media studios or via campus V-lab( mycloud.gatech.edu) .
Website Creation workshops should be scheduled in advance- Please allow a minimum of two weeks’ notice with instructors. This allows us time to tailor a workshop for a particular audience or for course content and assignments. Classes may be requested with shorter notice, but be advised we may not be able to fulfill your request and learning objectives for the session may be limited. Your input is vital in workshop development process.
Workshops are generally held in the Second Floor classroom (2130- Crosland Tower) of the library where software is readily available., but workshops can be held in other classrooms on campus if required technologies are available.
