I have developed a 7-week "Learning Dreamweaver" class to be held August 27 through November 5. All class work will be done through an online course management tool called Moodle. With no face-to-face meetings, you can complete the work at a time convenient for you. Each week's lesson includes written materials and videos, along with a short quiz and exercise on the week's topics. There is no charge for the class but enrollment is capped so I can better respond to questions and exercises. The class is open to any CALS employee, student or volunteer. Course details and a registration form are at the indicated page.
