Description:
MS Publisher skills enable participants to design and publish newsletters, Web pages, promotional and other materials to effectively communicate with their students, parents and community.

UEN has partnered with LearnKey to offer an online and computer-based training course on MS Publisher software. LearnKey’s materials include video of an engaging expert, along with easy to understand visual concept explanations. Screen capture tutorials, “labs” for practice and interactive tests on concept segments add up to clear, easy to follow skills training. UEN adds stimulating interactive discussions among class participants, the support of a live human facilitator, and assignments that help participants move beyond the skills to effectively integrate these tools in their curriculum and practice. Participants have opportunities for practice, project development and feedback within the online course environment.

Required Materials Purchase:
The LearnKey training materials are on stand-alone CDs. These CDs work only on WINDOWS computers. The CDs contain training materials, but DO NOT include the software. We STRONGLY recommend that you have the software available to practice with and use.
