Intermediate Networking
You will gain a full understanding of almost every aspect of networking technology, including hot topics such as virtual private networks, security, Internet connectivity, and cloud computing. Completion of this course and its prerequisite should serve as a springboard for a career in computer networking or training for CCNA Certification.
Course Objectives
Learn aspects of networking technology.
Study virtual private networks, security, and Internet connectivity.
Outline of Instruction
Wednesday - Lesson 01
In our first lesson, you'll learn about the concept of a network stack. After a succinct review of essential network and networking terms, we'll compare the theoretical structure of a network stack-commonly called the OSI model-to real-world networking. We'll then trace how data travels through the computer for transmission on the network.
Friday - Lesson 02
You'll pick up right where the last lesson left with a discussion on how a unit of computer data-called a packet-gets from one computer to another. You'll learn all about how packets are formed, how packets are sometimes chopped then reassembled to go across WAN links, and how the receiving computer handles packets upon arrival. You'll also learn why the network's most important device is the router.
Wednesday - Lesson 03
Today's lesson is dedicated to helping you understand how routers operate. You'll learn all about how routers create a virtual map of the entire Internet. You'll also see how routers connect to different network types-an Ethernet segment and an ATM link, for example-transmit data across those different mediums. Then we'll discuss why routers have their own special languages, called routing protocols.
Friday - Lesson 04
Today you'll learn the language of routers: routing protocols. You'll learn why some routing protocols are appropriate for smaller networks, and why very large networks require specialized routing protocols. You'll also learn about the two most revealing measurements of a router's capability: latency and packets per second (pps).
Wednesday - Lesson 05
You've heard of TCP/IP, but its details may seem mysterious. After you complete this lesson, those mysteries will be banished forever! You'll learn about IP addressing, the four primary IP address classes, and all about the various protocols that come packaged within TCP/IP. Prepare to demystify TCP/IP!
Friday - Lesson 06
Security is on everyone's mind these days, so in this lesson, you'll learn the fundamentals of how computers enforce security. You'll learn what a security descriptor is and how it can allow some people to only read a document, while others can delete or modify the document as much as they like. You'll also learn the difference between a security implementation and security protocols. Finally, you'll find out how security operates in a Windows environment, including exactly what happens during log on, authentication, and authorization.
Wednesday - Lesson 07
In today's lesson, we'll explore encryption, a method used to secure data for transmission over the Internet. You'll learn about various encryption schemes, and you'll get firsthand knowledge of how a chunk of data gets encrypted, how it gets decrypted on the receiving end, and how this process can be secure. You'll also learn how Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) makes it safe for you to order merchandise online, and how SSL ensures that your connection to the seller's Web site is secure.
Lesson 08
The Internet is a great public network, but what if you need it for private communication? For example, what if a salesman needs to make a private connection to her company's network to check on special bulk pricing? In today's lesson, you'll learn how you can create a virtual private network out of your Internet connection. You'll get a hands-on view of how these private connections are made, and why they're so useful.
The Internet, and almost every other network today, uses Domain Name System (DNS) to translate names we understand (like www addresses) into IP addresses that computers can use. It's important to understand how this system works, so in this chapter you'll learn details about how DNS operates. You'll learn how resource records are the building blocks of DNS, and how DNS scales to the entire Internet by being broken into zones.
We'll expand on our discussion of DNS in this lesson. Here you'll learn about the most important types of resource records, including A records, SOA records, and others. You'll also learn about the two types of DNS queries: recursive and iterative. There are many other resource record types, and you'll learn about those today, too. By the end of this lesson, it'll be clear just how important DNS is to our daily lives!
In this lesson, you'll learn how Internet Servers operate, including how a Web page is requested and transmitted to your computer, then displayed on your screen. You'll also learn about the two primary Web protocols-HTTP and HTML. There are other Internet-based services, such as e-mail servers, news servers, and instant messaging, and we'll investigate those in this lesson, too.
Have you ever wondered about the difference between a desktop computer and a server? Have you heard of cloud computing, but don't know exactly what it means? In our final lesson, we'll go over the differences between server-class operating systems and server-class computers, and we'll talk in-depth about the various hardware components that comprise a true server-class computer. Understanding why a desktop computer shouldn't be used as a departmental server is important! You'll also learn what cloud computing is, why it's such a compelling platform, and how datacenters provide all that computing power.

Business & Marketing Writing
Course Objectives
Learn how business and marketing objectives affect writing choices.
Study practical writing instruction in grammar, clarity, structure and more.
Understand issues unique to this discipline, such as buzzwords, working with a team, and marketing ethics.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - The Role of Business and Marketing Writing
The first lesson starts off with a discussion about the purpose of marketing and the goals of writing, and then talks about the unique roles, responsibilities, and challenges of business and marketing writing. You'll learn exactly what business and marketing writers do as you begin exploring this exciting field.
Lesson 2 - The Ins and Outs of Image
Before you can write or recognize successful copy, you'll need to understand your corporate identity: who the company is and what the company offers. In this lesson, you'll delve into all the aspects of corporate image that writers and marketing professionals need to ponder before producing effective projects.
Lesson 3 - Writing Approaches and Strategies
Now that you understand image, what can you do with it? In this lesson, you'll analyze business and marketing goals-and the needs of your audience-to figure out the appropriate writing style for any project.
Lesson 4 - Media
It's a creative field, but certain projects require certain conventions. In this lesson, you'll see how a particular medium or project type can guide your writing style and approach, helping you save time and stay on target.
Lesson 5 - Putting It All Together: Writing Project
This lesson will gather up the information you explored in the previous four lessons and put it all together. It will illustrate how to apply everything you've learned so far as you develop an original writing project from start to finish.
Lesson 6 - Complete and Incomplete Sentences
Do you need to write in complete sentences? What is a complete sentence, anyway? This lesson will give you a brief refresher on sentence construction and then go over some guidelines for using fragments in business writing. You'll also learn to recognize and fix one of the most common errors in modern writing: the comma splice.
Lesson 7 - Word Choices
You can't write without words! In this lesson, you'll learn to make accurate word choices. The lesson will discuss the level of vocabulary appropriate for business writing and show you how to choose words that reinforce a project's theme. It'll also clarify some tricky word pairs and discuss word-choice problems whose usage can undermine the professionalism of your writing.
Lesson 8 - Internal Communication
In this lesson, you'll take a critical look at the inside of a company. First, you'll see how to develop "marketing" projects for audiences within a company. Then you'll explore the roles of the various specialists who contribute to a single marketing piece-bosses, clients, editors, junior writers, artists, and designers. You'll learn how to work with all of them to create smoother relationships and better projects.
Lesson 9 - Banishing the Bureaucracy
For even the most experienced writers, bureaucratic influences can creep in to reduce creativity and impede communication. In this lesson, you'll take a look at buzzwords and jargon, and then explore some ways to achieve maximum power and effectiveness by keeping your writing clear, concise, and active.
Lesson 10 - Editing, Proofreading and Evaluating
In this lesson, you'll explore the final steps. You'll learn to enhance and refine business and marketing projects during the editing and proofreading processes. You'll also learn to evaluate finished pieces and even test their effectiveness in the real world!
Lesson 11 - Putting It All Together: Editing Project
In this lesson, you'll once again be putting it all together, but this time as an editor. You'll apply everything you've learned so far in the course, editing a project from beginning to end.
Lesson 12 - Marketing Ethics
Marketing involves images, and it's easy to lose sight of the truth. In the final lesson of the course, you'll go over some important considerations that marketing professionals need to think about.

Grammar Refresher
Course Objectives
Improve their speaking and writing skills.
Gain confidence in their ability to produce clean, grammatically correct work.
Explore the basics of English grammar-like sentence structure and punctuation-as well as more sophisticated concepts-like logic and clarity.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - Using Nouns, Pronouns, and Adjectives
The three most common parts of speech are nouns, pronouns, and adjectives. Learn how all types of pronouns are used in sentences, and explore how adjectives modify nouns and how to use them in your writing.
Lesson 2 - Using Verbs and Adverbs
There are three types of verbs: action verbs, linking verbs, and helping verbs. Each has a different use in a sentence. Take a look at action and linking verbs and review the basic types of verb tenses. Then, explore adverbs, and learn how to use both effectively in your writing.
Lesson 3 - Using Prepositions, Conjunctions, and Interjections
This lesson focuses on the last three parts of speech: prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. Prepositions show relationships between nouns and pronouns. Conjunctions are used to connect words, phrases, and clauses within a sentence. Finally, interjections are used to show feeling and emotion.
Lesson 4 - Capitalization and Punctuation
Learn to use some of the most common types of punctuation correctly and effectively. Understand use of end punctuation and explore the rules for colons, semicolons, quotations, apostrophes, and parenthesis.
Lesson 5 - Commas
More often than not, commas are used to indicate a brief pause. However, there are many different uses for the comma. Explore the various rules that govern comma usage in the English language while also learning how to use commas correctly and effectively in your writing.
Lesson 6 - Sentences
There are many different kinds of sentences in the English language: Declarative (makes a statement), Interrogative (asks a question), Imperative (issues a command), and Exclamatory (shows strong emotion). Finally, you will explore some common problems and pitfalls to avoid when writing sentences.
Lesson 7 - Plural and Possessive Words
Plural words refer to more than one; while, possessive words refer to nouns and pronouns and show ownership. Explore plural and possessive words and the rules you must follow to form them. You will also have plenty of opportunities to practice your new grammar skills.
Lesson 8 - Difficult and Confusing Words
There are many words that spell or sound similar yet have very different meanings. Explore these words and practice your new skills as you learn to avoid common pitfalls in your writing.
Lesson 9 - Phrases
Phrases are groups of words that have distinct meanings and perform certain functions within a sentence. There are different types of phrases, including prepositional phrases, appositive phrases, gerund phrases, adverb phrases, adjective phrases, infinitive phrases, participle phrases, and absolute phrases.
Lesson 10 - Agreement
Within the English language, parts of a sentence must agree in different ways. Explore subject / verb agreement, and see how using the correct conjunctions can correctly connect words or sentence parts together.
Lesson 11 - Common Sentence Problems
A sentence is a unit of thought, and each sentence must contain a subject and a verb to be complete. However, the three common sentence errors that writers often make: the run-on, the comma splice, and the fragment.
Lesson 12 - Becoming a Better Writer
The purpose of studying grammar is to improve your English speaking and writing skills. Put your grammar skills to work as you gain writing tips and opportunities to practice your writing skills.

Photoshop CC for the Digital Photographer
Course Objectives
Learn exactly what you need to do to add text, retouch, and even clone away unwanted elements from your images.
Study how to work with raw images and prepare images for print or online use. All along the way, your instructor will guide you with detailed explanations and instructions for using the tools that make this software so popular and unique in the world of digital image editing.
Master techniques to edit and enhance your digital images and add a professional polish to your work.
Outline of Instruction
Wednesday - Lesson 01
Photoshop CC is an excellent package for photographers to enhance and edit digital images. In this lesson, we'll introduce online training, see how to download images for you to use in class, and start with a tour of Photoshop CC. This class starts at the beginning, with the various tools for displaying images, and I've designed it to bring even the inexperienced user to a comfortable level of editing and enhancement.
Friday - Lesson 02
In this lesson, you'll see the power of Photoshop with quick corrections and the ability to crop and rotate your images. You'll like the new Crop tool in Photoshop CC! We'll also discuss the various file formats for digital images and how to use them to your best advantage. You'll learn how to make changes and save different versions of your images so you'll have everything you need for future editing.
Wednesday - Lesson 03
As we continue our study of Photoshop CC, you'll learn how to prepare your documents for printing. To get the best quality print, you want to be sure that each image is the right size and resolution. We'll define terms, explore menus, and look at ways for you to be sure your prints will be just the right size. You'll see how to use the Crop tool with more control and feel confident about printing when you finish this lesson.
Friday - Lesson 04
Whether you want to use your image on a website, in an email, or for a large print, you need to be sure the size is right. If it's for the Web, you'll want it small enough to load quickly, but still sharp and clear. If you need an enlarged print, you'll want to be sure it has all the quality of the original. This can be a stumbling block for some new Photoshop users, so we'll take our time and practice with several images to help you learn all the steps. We'll also go over how to use Photoshop's tools for artistic cropping so your images are both artistically and technically the best they can be.
Wednesday - Lesson 05
One of the most powerful features in Photoshop is layers, and in this lesson, you'll have a chance to create a new file and copy another image into it, exploring the basics of layers as you go. You'll also see how to set color options for many of the Photoshop features and adjust color in your images.
Friday - Lesson 06
As you continue to build your knowledge of layers in this lesson, you'll also see how to work with color. Photoshop has a huge palette of color options that you can use in your images, and the color tools are amazing! You'll see how to easily replace, brighten, and enhance color, and even remove it for stunning black-and-white work. These features are among the many sought-after highlights of Photoshop, but beware! You may find yourself tinkering with images even after the lesson is over.
Wednesday - Lesson 07
Light is the essence of photography, but it isn't always cooperative. In this lesson, we'll discuss ways to enhance and even create better lighting after you've taken an image. You'll see how to use Brightness and Contrast to improve your images, and you'll have a chance to work with Levels and Curves, two of Photoshop's best features for correcting lighting and color tones.
Friday - Lesson 08
Even if you don't shoot in raw image format, Photoshop has a set of sophisticated editing tools for you to use! Camera Raw is Photoshop's editor for processing raw images, giving you the opportunity to adjust white balance and exposure in all kinds of file formats, and leaving your images with startling clarity and dynamic color. In today's lesson, you'll see how to adjust your images quickly and easily, just like a pro. If you're not quite sure what raw files are or if they're something you'd like to use, we'll walk you through the process, and you can decide what's best for your type of work. Either way, you'll learn more about Photoshop and what it can do for you!
Wednesday - Lesson 09
Mixing words and pictures is an important part of digital photography, and Photoshop gives you lots of ways to make your text as dazzling as your pictures. In this lesson, we'll explore Photoshop's text tools, and you'll find out how to add text to your images. You'll also begin your study of the powerful selection tools, with the Quick Selection tool, the color-based Magic Wand tool, and the flexible Lasso tool and work further with layering.
Friday - Lesson 10
As we continue our study of selection tools, today you'll learn how to create silhouettes and creative backgrounds to set them off. You'll see how the Marquee tools let you select perfect squares and circles for use in framing and highlighting your images. You'll practice using feathering to see the difference it makes, especially when you want to create a soft, blended background in your image. You'll also see how to use the Marquee tool to create borders and frames around your pictures. To wrap up our study of the selection tools, we'll also explore the many options in the Select menu.
Wednesday - Lesson 11
In our last lesson on the selection tools, you'll work with a combination of tools for detailed and exacting work when you need it most. You'll also learn some advanced techniques for using the selection tools together. We'll work extensively with the Add to selection option and see some shortcuts for making selections easier. As a final addition to your knowledge in this area, you'll have a chance to explore and work with features on the Select menu.
Friday - Lesson 12
In our last lesson, you'll learn how to put many new tools to work! We'll discuss Retouching and Correcting tools, and you'll perfect your skills with the Red Eye tool, the Clone Stamp tool, and both of the powerful Healing Brushes. We'll also discuss when to use each tool for the best results. The power of Photoshop will come to life as you use these tools in your final assignments.

Merrill Ream Speed Reading
Course Objectives
Learn to increase their productivity by learning to read faster and with better comprehension.
Master the skills and techniques they will need for lasting proficiency as a speed reader.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - Introduction
On this first day of class, you'll read a story to evaluate your present reading rate. You'll learn how many words per minute you read now, and then we'll compare that number to what percent of the reading material you're really comprehending. You'll also get an opportunity to check out the speed reading accomplishments of some of my former students. Then, you'll complete an eye-span exercise to start you on the path toward becoming a speed reader!
Lesson 2 - Reading Against Time
In this lesson, you'll practice some basic reading eye movements and learn how they're important to the speed reading process. Then, you'll take a reading rate and comprehension test. Your results will give you a baseline that you can use to chart your speed reading progress in this course, lesson-by-lesson. From there, you can set goals to increase your reading rate while maintaining a good reading comprehension.
Lesson 3 - Speed Reading Activities
By now, you might feel that the activities you're using to master your speed reading skills are becoming routine and repetitive. So today, we'll talk about how and why you should continue doing the Regulated Reading, Timed Reading, and Assignment exercises to gain increased reading rates with good reading comprehension. Finally, you'll read some stories that are formatted to help you improve your speed.
Lesson 4 - Setting Goals
Today, we'll examine the retinal image phenomena and how it relates to a speed reader's eye movements. Speed reading is a skill that's best achieved by doing repetitive practice, so we'll continue working on those exercises that are helping you to improve your speed.
Lesson 5 - Overcoming Poor Reading Habits
You'll probably find it helpful to work on lesson activities in the same comfortable and familiar surroundings. In this lesson, we'll talk about eight bad reading habits that contribute to slow reading, then we'll explore how to overcome them. Finally, we'll review some terminology that's unique to speed reading.
Lesson 6 - Sixteen Good Speed Reading Practices
In this lesson, we'll look at 16 good speed reading practices you can apply to our course exercises and any other reading you do outside of class. We're at the midpoint in the course, so this is also a good time to compare your reading rate and comprehension scores with those of the former students you read about in Lesson 1. From there, we'll set goals for you to meet in the remaining lessons.
Lesson 7 - Skimming Techniques
You'll probably be reading pretty quickly by the time you reach this lesson, but how can you make sure your comprehension scores are keeping up? Today, we'll look at skills you'll need to work on to improve your comprehension. You'll find out what keys and identified parts are unique to all stories, and knowing those will help you to improve your comprehension. You'll be glad to learn that you already know a few speed reading skills and techniques as we continue to apply them to our course activities.
Lesson 8 - Measuring Reading Rates
Today, you'll practice speed reading skills and techniques in real-world reading materials outside of class. You'll learn a method you can use to measure your speed reading rates when you're reading such materials. At this point, you'll be eager to read outside materials, not just for their content, but to further develop your speed reading skills and techniques.
Lesson 9 - Speed Reading Styles
We're now ready to analyze your personal speed reading style. You'll once again compare your speed reading rate and comprehension scores with those of former students in Lesson 1 to see how you stack up against others. We'll also compare your current scores with the scores you recorded at the beginning of the course to see how far you've come!
Lesson 10 - Vocabulary and Comprehension Skills
Today, we'll look at eight word recognition vocabulary skills that you can work into your personal speed reading style. You'll learn how context clues and literal and inferential meanings in stories influence comprehension. All are part of the English language and fit right in with speed reading.
Lesson 11 - Assessing Your Progress
Today, we'll see if we can figure out which of your behavior patterns are most useful in your own speed reading style. First and foremost, you need flexibility to focus on improving your reading speed, then you need an experimental attitude to get rid of poor reading habits. We'll study how the time you put in and the effort you expend affect your speed reading progress.
Lesson 12 - Wrapping Up
In our last lesson, we'll look at your personal speed reading accomplishments, as well as your speed reading future. From here on out, you're in the real world of reading. But you'll go into it with a lifelong speed reading skill. You'll learn how to adjust your personal speed reading style to any materials you read, because now you are a speed reader!

Introduction to InDesign CC
Lesson by lesson, you will discover how the program features relate to producing actual usable documents. You will explore the best ways to create different types of material, how to reuse items such as colors and artwork, and how to produce publications for different page sizes and devices. You will come away knowing how to use this popular page layout software to design and create professional-quality letterhead, business cards, brochures, forms, interactive PDF files, an eBook, and more.
Course Objectives
Discover how the program features relate to producing actual usable documents as we explore the best ways to create different types of material, how to reuse items such as colors and artwork.
Learn how to use this popular page layout software to design and create professional-quality letterhead, business cards, brochures, forms, interactive PDF files, an eBook, and more.
Learn how to produce publications for different page sizes and devices.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - Introduction to InDesign CC
Wouldn't it be terrific if you could use one program to create all the different types of print materials you need for your small business, organization, or family-such as letterhead, forms, and even brochures and business cards? Well, you can! We'll spend this first lesson going over all the different types of content you can produce with InDesign. We'll explore the InDesign workspace and tools, and then we'll get right to work on our first project-a logo for the fictional business we'll create materials for throughout this course!
Lesson 2 - Setting Up a New Document
Today, you'll learn all about starting and saving a new document. What's one of the most common types of print documents? If you said, "letterhead," you'd be right and well on your way into this lesson's project. By the end of the session, you'll know how to choose settings for a new file, add background images, and organize your content to create a custom letterhead. You'll also add a second page to create a matching envelope, and you'll learn how to add a custom Master page for the envelope. And as in all of our lessons, we'll go over how to use the specific colors, styles, and logo for our fictional business, but you'll be able to use the same techniques for your personal business or projects.
Lesson 3 - Organizing Objects on a Layout
Organization is a key ingredient in successful work of any kind, and it's critical to successfully using InDesign. In this lesson, you'll learn about organizing in two ways. First, you'll see how to use a workflow, or an order of operations for creating an InDesign publication. Then we'll go over how to organize materials on a page and how to use many of InDesign's tools for aligning, organizing, and laying out your content. In the process, we'll complete three projects: a sheet of address stickers, a sheet of business cards, and a reusable business card template.
Lesson 4 - Setting Up a Multipage Document
Many of your projects will use multiple pages with different layouts. Designing a catalog layout is the perfect way to learn these skills, and that's what we'll focus on today. We'll work with two different column layouts while exploring other InDesign features (like grids and document coordinates) that can help you lay out a page evenly. We'll also go over using graphic and text frame placeholders so you don't have to add content to the page to see its layout. For a final touch of realism, we'll use placeholder text during the design process to give you a good idea of how a page will look when you're finished. You'll see how to add a graphic into an existing frame and make it fit, as well as how to add content instantly using a file called a snippet.
Lesson 5 - Creating a Tri-Fold Brochure
Managing text in precise and interesting ways is one of the big advantages of working with InDesign rather than a word-processing program. In this lesson, we'll begin a two-page brochure project that will take us two lessons to complete. In this first part, you'll learn different methods for adding text to your publication. Once the text is in place, you'll see how to check your text for typos and errors. We'll go over how to work with text in simple text frames and how to design threaded text (where the text slides through linked text frames on the page yet stays within the defined structure). We'll also use the Story Editor as an alternative to adding content in a layout view. You'll finish the lesson working with two columns in a single frame, and you'll see how to balance the content and auto-size the frame.
Lesson 6 - Creating a Book
The two key elements in any print project are, of course, text and images. We went over text in our last lesson, so today, we'll finish up our two-page brochure project by going over just about everything you need to know about working with images-adding them to the page in different ways, adjusting their positions, and using various commands for coordinating their sizes, proportions, and frames. We'll begin by adding images to the brochure project pages we worked on in Lesson 5, and then we'll check out some special ways to add batches of images at once to make an image collage and to place images in interesting frames. Speaking of interesting-you'll also see how you can use InDesign transparency effects to add pizzazz to any project. You'll wind up the lesson making a printable photo cube from a template.
Lesson 7 - Managing and Applying Color
You might be surprised to learn that InDesign provides you with some of the same sophisticated drawing tools that you'll find in Adobe Illustrator. For example, InDesign offers the Pathfinder tool, which is the perfect tool to use if you need to combine simply drawn shapes and convert them into more complex and interesting objects. In this lesson, you'll learn how to work with some of the drawing tools to design a poster for a fashion show. You'll see how to draw several simple shapes and stack them using blend modes for interesting effects. One of the topics we'll go over is a text wrap, which is a special way to work with a drawing to tell InDesign where you want your text to display on your page. If you've ever wondered how to make text follow the shape of an object, curving around it on the page, our practice today will solve the mystery!
Lesson 8 - Designing Tables and Creating Forms
Did you know that your eyes can see over 16 million different colors? It's true! Fortunately, you don't have to work with that many colors in InDesign. But if you ever find yourself trying to choose between thousands and thousands of color possibilities, you'll understand why InDesign offers you so many different ways to work with your choices. In this lesson, you'll learn the best methods for choosing, naming, and organizing colors. You'll practice working with solid colors as well as gradients (which let you display a range of color within an object), and we'll round out the lesson by using some more special effects in today's fun project-a greeting card.
Lesson 9 - Creating an Interactive Document
When you need to display bits of information in your publication and want to ensure it's easy to read, it's time to use a table. InDesign offers you lots of tools for designing and formatting tables while helping you make sure your content will coordinate with other documents. You'll see how this works today as we practice building tables for an invoice. You'll also find out how to use color tints in your table, as well as how to use styles to quickly and consistently reuse any of your layout features. Finally, we'll experiment with an interactive PDF form. You'll add some fields to a blank form, see how to configure a text field or button, and produce the PDF form.
Lesson 10 - Storing Text and Color Information
Recycling doesn't just apply to items in your home or business. In this lesson, you'll see how to use the 3R's of recycling in InDesign to complete a newsletter project. As you recycle and modify colors and styles from previous lessons to create new styles in your newsletter, you'll also reuse a lot of the tools and skills you've used in previous lessons. Learning to effectively use all of InDesign's tools and features in a variety of different ways on many different projects is what it's all about!
Lesson 11 - Creating EPUB documents and eBooks
In this lesson, you'll work with text and images from Alice in Wonderland to build an EPUB. You'll learn a lot about what does and doesn't work in an EPUB document, and work with best practices for producing different types of EPUB documents. You'll learn how to create two types of eBooks, a book that will reflow to the size of the device it is viewed on, and a book with a fixed layout, that is sized for a specific device such as an iPad, or other tablet. You'll learn how to place images so they stay put when viewed on a device.
Lesson 12 - Creating and Distributing a Complex Document
Whether you're designing publications for business, hobbies, or social or community activities, odds are you'll need to share them at some point. InDesign provides many options for exporting and reusing a document, as well as printing. We'll review a few of them in this lesson as we design a postcard using special fonts, colors, and image layout features. Have you ever seen text that shows an image of some sort through the letters and wondered how it's done? You'll know after completing the project in this lesson! By the time you finish this lesson, you'll know how to export a publication as an image, print directly from your desktop, or create a compact PDF version of your finished publication ready to email.

Learn how to edit your images like a pro.
Understnad the basics of this program as well as more advanced techniques.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 01
Photoshop Elements is an excellent package for photographers to enhance and edit digital images. In our first lesson, we'll introduce online training, show you how to download the images you'll use in class, and start with the very basics of Photoshop Elements. We'll take things a step at a time so that even new users can get comfortable editing and enhancing their digital photos. You'll also find information about what's new in Elements 13.
Lesson 02
This lesson will discuss the many file formats digital images can take and how you can use them to your best advantage with Photoshop Elements. You'll learn how to save updated originals and copies of your images, as well as how to use Smart Fix to produce fast results. You'll see how to crop with the Rule of Thirds Grid Overlay and rotate images to get just the look you're after, and you'll practice using the Straighten tool for one-step corrections.
Lesson 03
Digital images come in all sizes! In this lesson, we'll discuss image resolution, pixels, and recommendations for resizing pictures with excellent results. When you want high-quality prints, you'll see just how to resize them and maintain quality with Photoshop Elements' sizing options. We'll also discuss the different shapes images can take and how you can be sure your prints will fit the frames you choose.
Lesson 04
Photoshop Elements gives you lots of options for printing your documents, and you'll learn about all of them in this lesson. You'll find out how to add temporary colorful borders and print images to just the size you want. You'll also practice saving photos for use on websites using Photoshop Elements' Save for Web. In addition, we'll take a look at the Organizer and see how to print multiple photos on a page.
Lesson 05
Most of the time, photographers have plenty of images to work with, but in some instances you'll want to create a new file as a foundation for your images. You'll learn how to do that in this lesson. You'll also see how to use Elements' tabbed windowing for quick access to your open images. From there, you'll add color and then move a photo onto your background. You'll discover how to use the Layers feature in the process.
Lesson 06
Ever wondered how professional photographers can make the colors in some images look out of this world? Today you'll find out how they do it! You'll work with color adjustments in your images, including hue and saturation. You'll also create black-and-white images from color images using Elements' Black and White Conversion feature, and you'll pick individual colors to replace with others. You'll learn how to make quick changes with this! You'll also look at a tool that can help adjust skin tones quickly.
Lesson 07
Light is the essence of photography, but it's not always cooperative. In this lesson, we'll discuss ways to enhance and even create better lighting after you've taken an image. You'll see how to use Brightness and Contrast to improve your images, and we'll cover techniques for adjusting shadows and highlights. You'll also have a chance to work with the histogram, Levels, and Color Curves-all excellent tools for correcting lighting and color tones. Through all this, you'll see how Elements keeps track of your changes and lets you go back through them if you want to undo something.
Lesson 08
In this lesson, we'll take a look at how Organizer works to keep track of your images. You'll see how to sort your pictures, add tags, and collect them in albums for use in projects like scrapbook pages and greeting cards.
Lesson 09
In your creative projects, you'll often want to pair photos with text. Photoshop Elements gives you plenty of text tools, and in this lesson, you'll explore those and add text to your images. You'll see how Photoshop Elements uses layers with text, and you'll get tips on how to master the Layers panel. You'll also begin your study of the powerful selection tools, including the color-based Magic Wand tool and the flexible Lasso tool. With these, you'll discover the power of Feathering selections and copying selections within an image.
Lesson 10
As you continue your study of selection tools, you'll learn how to create a silhouette image using the Quick Selection tool. You'll also practice using any of the selection tools in a reverse mode for tricky selections. We'll see how the Marquee tools let you select perfect squares and circles for use in framing and highlighting your images and how the new Text on Selection tool works with any shape! You'll also work more with Feathering and see the difference it makes, especially when you want to create a soft, blended background in your image. Finally, we'll go over how to add colors with the Gradient tool.
Lesson 11
In our last lesson on the selection tools, you'll work with the Selection Brush tool for detailed and exacting work when you need it most. You'll also learn some advanced techniques for using the selection tools together. We'll work extensively with the Add to selection option, and we'll preview our work with Mask Mode. You'll have a chance to experiment with some of Photoshop Elements' filters and color options, as well as the settings in the Magnetic Lasso tool. As a final addition to your knowledge in this area, you'll have a chance to explore and work with the Select menu.
Lesson 12
As we bring this first class to a close, you'll find many new tools to put to work and still more to learn. We'll discuss Retouching and Correcting tools, and you'll perfect your skills with the Red Eye Removal tool (including the new Pet Eye option), the Clone Stamp tool, and both the powerful Healing Brushes and the Content-Aware Healing option. You'll learn when to use each tool for the best results. The power of Photoshop Elements will come to life as you use these tools in your final assignments.

Real Estate Law
Course Objectives
Build a strong knowledge base as you discover how legal concepts are put into practice every day.
Learn to identify key words and phrases and define them on the spot.
Learn worded descriptions of real property
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - The Law of Property
If you've ever considered becoming a real estate broker, buying or selling a home, investing in real estate, or getting into real estate law, this is the course for you! In Lesson 1, you'll learn about the key differences between real and personal property, as well as some of the unique characteristics of land. You'll also get an overview of all the varied classifications of real property-you may be surprised by all the possibilities!
Lesson 2 - All About Estates
If you own property, does that mean you can do anything you like with it? In today's lesson, you'll learn about what kinds of titles carry which kinds of rights. There's one type of title you'll want above all others, and you need to know about it long before you ever think about buying any real estate. We'll also look at what happens when two or more people own property together. This can get complicated, so we'll untangle who has the right to do what
Lesson 3 - The Importance of Property Boundaries
Most people don't know anything about property boundaries . . . until they're unpleasantly surprised by someone knocking down their back fence. In this lesson, you'll discover how to read and understand the different types of property descriptions, how to avoid disputes about them, and how to make this inside knowledge work for you
Lesson 4 - Sales and Foreclosures
In this lesson, you'll learn about the basic contract requirements involved in selling property. Don't worry, though-it's not just dry theory! I'll also introduce you to the typical people involved in a sale and walk you through the usual procedures. Then we'll dive into a topic many people regard as a potential gold mine: foreclosures. We'll straighten out some common misconceptions and see just what's involved in bidding on foreclosed property
Lesson 5 - Fixtures, Easements, Licenses, and Liens
When you sell property, what items can you take with you and what must remain? This issue involves the law of fixtures, and most buyers and sellers don't know anything about it. But you will! You'll learn how and why a seller can remove a refrigerator but not the antique doorknobs. We'll also look at the important issue of easements, which give a non-owner the right to use part of someone else's land. Both of these topics are absolutely essential for anyone considering buying or selling real estate
Lesson 6 - What You Need to Know About Contracts
In this lesson, we'll track the negotiations that go on when you buy and sell real estate. You'll learn what a contract actually does, and you'll explore two of the most common real estate contracts: the "listing agreement" and the "offer to purchase and contract of sale." Then we'll follow a sale from the posting of the For Sale sign to the offers, counteroffers, rejections, and finally to the acceptance
Lesson 7 - Landlord-Tenant Law
If you've ever been a tenant or plan to become a landlord, then you should pay particular attention to this lesson. Here we'll examine landlord-tenant law, exploring what rights and obligations each has to the other. You'll see when and how a landlord can evict a tenant and how tenants can protect themselves. And we'll walk step-by-step through the terms of a typical lease
Lesson 8 - The Ins and Outs of Deeds
Anyone who plans on owning real estate must know about deeds. A deed simply transfers ownership rights, but if you've ever tried to read one, you know just how confusing they can be. In this lesson, we'll decipher all the parts of the deed, clarifying what each clause means and how each part impacts your ownership rights. We'll also discuss ways to make sure the owner transfers all of his or her legal rights in the property to you.
Lesson 9 - Demystifying Mortgages
Mortgages can be just as confusing as deeds! So in this lesson, we'll demystify them by discussing what a mortgage is, what "prequalification" and "preapproval" are, and what lenders look for before entering into a mortgage with a borrower (especially credit issues). You'll also see what types of mortgages you can choose from and understand the good and bad points of each.
Lesson 10 - What Happens at the Closing?
Real estate closings often seem overwhelming. So many papers are flying around, and if you're the buyer, you're signing things without really knowing what they are. And then there's the whole issue of closing costs, which can add several thousand dollars to the sale. In this lesson, you'll meet the people involved in a typical closing, see what documents the closing professional needs, learn about the ones a buyer must sign, and what the costs are and where they come from. By the time you finish this lesson, you'll feel much more comfortable with this process!
Lesson 11 - Zoning and Restrictive Covenants
Who creates zoning rules and how? What can a zoning ordinance regulate? How are they enforced? If you need to get around one, can you? These are just some of the questions you'll find answers to in this lesson. We'll also take a look at an area of law most people don't know about-but it can have a huge impact on all types of property owners. That's restrictive covenants. Last, you'll learn what kind of action you can take if your neighbor becomes a big nuisance.
Lesson 12 - Real Estate Professions
In our final lesson, we'll survey the various types of professions tied to real estate. If you're interested in becoming a real estate agent, you'll learn about the process here. We'll also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of real estate investing to help you decide if this is something you'd like to do. And we'll finish up by profiling other careers, such as surveyors, real estate paralegals, appraisers, inspectors, and more

Learn about the importance of obtaining community and political support before submitting a proposal to any government agency.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - Types of Proposal Formats
In this lesson, you'll learn the different types of grant proposal formats for corporations, foundations, and state and federal government agencies.

Lesson 3 - Write the History and Major Accomplishments Sections
In this lesson, we'll focus on how to prepare the first section of the grant proposal narrative-the research and major accomplishments section. You'll learn how to sift through organizational documents and write useful information that will answer the dozens of questions that grant reviewers ask when reading your narrative. Most importantly, you'll learn how to avoid the mistakes that can cause your grant proposal to lose points during the initial stages of the funder's review process.
Lesson 4 - Write the Current Programs and Activities Section

Lesson 8 - Write the Program Design Section
This is perhaps the most important of all our lessons. You are halfway through the main writing sections for your grant proposal narrative and gaining more confidence in your skills. This lesson will teach you how to show the funder that you have a well-thought-out plan for spending grant monies. You'll learn how to look at the program design section from the funder's viewpoint, how to collect the right information, and how to spot poorly written narrative in this section.
Lesson 9 - Write the Management Plan Section
In this lesson, you will learn to understand the thinking patterns of grant funders when they read the management plan section. You'll also learn how to avoid the most common types of errors made by other grant writers when writing this section, and how to cull the right information from your program staff or administrators.
Lesson 10 - Write the Evaluation Section
This lesson will teach you how to look at the evaluation plan section from the funder's perspective. You'll also learn how to steer clear of the age-old errors that other grant writers make when planning and writing this section.

Lesson 11 - Develop the Budget Section
At this point, you're nearing the finish line for Advanced Proposal Writing. In this lesson, you will learn the standard definitions you need to know when it comes to planning your budget line items. We'll also look at examples of award-winning budget sections on the Internet. Most importantly, this lesson will teach you how to recover with the funder when you make a glaring budget error.
Lesson 12 - Apply Finishing Touches and Conduct Follow-Up Tasks
This last lesson will teach you how to view your entire proposal package from the funder's viewpoint. You'll also learn how to use words that work, some final formatting techniques, and how to prepare the supporting documentation for your grant proposal-the attachments. This final lesson will also teach you the ins and outs of signatories, copies, and how to mail your grant proposal the right way. Lastly, you'll learn how to follow up on all outstanding items, such as verification of proposal delivery and checking back with funders. Finally, I'll show you the next step to take when your proposal is either funded or rejected.

Explore natural and artificial lighting, freezing or blurring motion, portraiture, children's photography, pet photography, photojournalism, and digital editing options.
Learn how to develop your photographer's eye and incorporate compositional guidelines as you take better pictures.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - The Subject of Photography
In this first lesson, you'll learn how to see the subject of each photograph-before you press the shutter button. This information will provide a solid foundation for the rest of the class.
Lesson 2 - Camera Equipment
As you learn more about the technical side of photography, take a look at the options available in camera equipment. Whether you have a point-and-shoot camera or the latest digital SLR, you will gain a better understanding of the equipment and tools photographers use.
Lesson 3 - Your Photographic Eye
Returning to artistic elements in this lesson, you'll learn how to develop your photographer's eye and incorporate compositional guidelines as you take better pictures. This information will provide a solid foundation for the rest of the class.
Lesson 4 - Lighting
Light is the essence of photography. In this lesson, we'll explore how to control and use light to your advantage. You'll compare the advantages of natural light, available light, and artificial light and see when you'll want to use each to capture the special effects you're after. You'll also learn how to use the ISO and white balance settings on your camera to make the most of the light you have.
Lesson 5 - Sharp Shooting
This lesson delves into the options for using your camera and other tools to get sharp, crisp images. Photography often requires compromise to accommodate conflicting priorities, and after this lesson, you will be able to decide what's most important to you. You will also see how to test your lenses and cameras and evaluate your equipment.
Lesson 6 - Aperture and Depth of Field
Using manual exposure settings opens up a whole new world of professional and creative options. In this lesson, you'll begin an exploration of how to get the most out of your camera's features, starting with Aperture Priority and the control it gives you over depth of field. Whether you want to create an image with a soft background highlighting your subject or a far-reaching landscape shot with all the details in focus, controlling your aperture settings puts that power in your hands.
Lesson 7 - Shutter Speed and Motion
You'll see how to capture motion in this lesson as we continue the topic of manual exposure settings. Whether you want to freeze the action of fireworks or merge a waterfall into a velvety illusion, shutter speed is the key! Setting your shutter speed gives you the control you need to get the images you want, and it's easier than you might think. You'll have lots to practice with as you finish this lesson.
Lesson 8 - Portraiture
In this lesson, you'll learn the tricks of portrait photography. Whether you're working professionally or just as the family photographer, these techniques will help you take better portraits.

Lesson 9 - Children and Pet Photography
Photographing children, pets, and groups is a challenge for even the most seasoned professional photographer. In this lesson, you'll learn some techniques and strategies to bring out the best in your pictures.
Lesson 10 - Photographic Challenges
Now that you know how your camera works and what you want to do, it's time to take a look at how to handle challenging situations. When the light is low or the subject just seems out of reach, you want to know how to get the shot! In today's lesson we'll focus on how to use your tools and knowledge to beat the challenges and come away with the pictures you're after.
Lesson 11 - Photojournalism
Photojournalism is a fascinating field for photographers. This fast-paced world presents challenges of its own. In this lesson, you'll see how the pros handle this type of work. We'll also discuss how to get started in the field.

Fundamentals of Supervision and Management II
Course Objectives
Learn how to be a more effective manager or supervisor.
Master the basics of communication, because effective communication is essential in your quest to be a good manager or supervisor.
Learn how to assess your own personality, as well as the personalities of your co-workers and boss, and you'll develop a plan of action to improve both your interpersonal skills and your work relationships
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - Purposes and Elements of Communication
When a manager or supervisor begins to have problems in the workplace, it usually isn't due to any technical skill deficiency. More often than not, it's some kind of communication problem or interpersonal problem. This course will provide you with a great many tools you can use to help with the kinds of real-world issues that arise every day in the workplace. This first lesson will introduce you to some of the basic components of communication
Lesson 2 - Direction of Communication Flow
As we begin to identify problems or issues with communication in organizations, it's valuable to have a framework to help us understand it. In this lesson, we'll look at the directions in which communication flows in organizations, barriers to communication, and organizational issues that block communication
Lesson 3 - Communication Media and Effective Listening
How do you become a better communicator? Choosing the right communication method is a logical first step! This lesson will provide you with some tips for doing just that. We'll also talk about how to listen more effectively-the first step to being a more effective communicator.
Lesson 4 - Non-Verbal and Written Communication
What we say is only part of what we communicate. The non-verbal message can be just as powerful! In this lesson, you'll learn all about nonverbal communication and some techniques to make sure that you're not sending the wrong message. Then we'll start discussing written communication as well as how to use the writing process more effectively.
Lesson 5 - Communicating With Groups and Running Effective Meetings
Communicating with individuals is a real art--communicating with groups multiplies the challenge! Here's we'll discuss groups and teams and how to best approach them with your communications. We'll also talk about some constructive criticism techniques as well as how to deliver bad news so that it is received and not resisted.
Lesson 6 - Communicating During Organizational Change
During times of organizational change it is difficult to communicate effectively, and sometimes hard to get your points across effectively. People are angry, tense, and anxious, and so are you! In this lesson, we'll look into what happens to the climate of the organization during times of change, and you'll learn how to communicate effectively when it counts the most.
Lesson 7 - Introduction to Interpersonal Skills
In this lesson, we'll begin to discuss the second major topic of the course: Interpersonal skills. Here we'll go over why these skills are important in any organization and we'll look into a concept called emotional intelligence.
Lesson 8 - Personality Theory and Personality Types
Personalities! They're all around us. You have one and so does everyone else. Many problems at work are blamed on personality conflicts. What does this really mean? We'll find out in this lesson. We'll begin by discussing the personality traits of introverts versus extroverts
Lesson 9 - Personality Conflicts
In this lesson, we'll talk about an important trait called agreeableness. People can be high or low or somewhere in between on this trait. Wherever they (or you) fall, there are positive and negative consequences, and we'll explore them all in this lesson. We'll do the same with another important trait: conscientiousness.
Lesson 10 - Personality Characteristics
We'll discuss two more personality traits in Lesson 10--neuroticism and openness to experience. As we learned in Lesson 9, people can be high, low or somewhere in between on these traits, too. And wherever they fall, there are positive and negative consequences.
Lesson 11 - The Use of Power and Situational Leadership
A need for power? Does that seem a bit autocratic to even admit to? Most of us do have at least some need for power, control, and influence. What should you do with that need for power? And do you use your power for good or for evil? Does it have anything to do with being a successful manager? We'll answer all of these questions in this lesson.
Lesson 12 - Using Interpersonal Skills Throughout Your Career
We'll wrap up the course and our discussion on interpersonal skills with some useful tips on how to use these new skills effectively-not just with your employees, but with your peers and your boss, as well.

Get Grants!
Course Objectives
have discovered how to target the best funding agencies for your project and learn insider secrets for approaching them in the right way.
have learned how to follow up on a proposal, and you'll find out when it's possible to turn a "no" into a "yes."
have learned how to convert an idea into a complete, well-developed package.
Outline of Instruction
Wednesday - Lesson 01
Each year, nonprofit organizations receive billions of dollars from grant-making entities. How can your organization ensure that some of this money comes into your coffers? The goal of Get Grants! is just that, and this lesson will you get started. The first step in getting grants is making sure that you have a fundable project. What's that? You'll find out in this lesson. We'll also talk about how to take an idea and develop it into a proposal
Friday - Lesson 02
Today you'll learn the eight parts of a typical grant proposal, and you'll find out in what order you should develop them. We'll examine how to create a workable timeline so that you never frantically work on a proposal only to discover that you missed the deadline. We'll also go into detail about the first part of the proposal-the introduction, or what we might call your section on bragging rights.
Wednesday - Lesson 03
Today we'll get to the heart of the proposal: the "why." The need statement is where you convince potential funders that you need their support. But ah, there's a hitch. Funders don't particularly care about things you lack or things that would make you happy. They care about funding projects that address issues or resolve unmet needs that mesh with their priorities. After this lesson, you'll know how to detect a real need and then write a concise, clear, well-documented need statement that makes funding agencies take note.
Friday - Lesson 04
Goals and objectives clarify precisely what you intend to accomplish and help funders see what they are supporting. In this lesson you'll learn how to write goals that flow from the need statement and objectives that will help to measure your success. More specifically, we'll show you how to craft the specific, measurable objectives that grant makers require.
Wednesday - Lesson 05
"Evaluation" is a word that you hear a lot in the grant-writing world. It's how you show the grant makers that the outcomes of your project are what they want to support. By the end of today's lesson, you'll be able to design evaluations that clearly demonstrate how your outcomes support your goals and the goals of the funding source.
Friday - Lesson 06
Today we'll talk about methods and activities, which are the things you'll be doing from the moment you receive your funding in order to reach your goal. Planning these steps can be daunting, but you'll see how to create a detailed road map so that you never get lost. You'll also understand how to match your activities to the objectives we developed in Lesson 4. And you'll know how to capture all the great ideas that you generate during the grant-writing process, so your project manager will be able to start implementing them right away.
Wednesday - Lesson 07
If you're a numbers person, this lesson about the budget will be right up your alley. If you're not, this lesson will demystify the budget process. We'll go through each of the budget categories and define the more confusing terms. Best of all, you'll get good models for your budget form and your budget narrative. These will be very helpful . . . especially when you work on a major grant.
Friday - Lesson 08
Grant writers frequently overlook these two parts of the proposal. But after today, you'll never make this common mistake. Funders don't always require information about dissemination (publicizing your program) and sustainability (future funding), but both are vital pieces in convincing funders that you will make the most of their investment. You'll find out today how you can best present them in your proposal.
Wednesday - Lesson 09
Although we're not yet finished with the class, we're at the point of the proposal process where we sum it all up. In this lesson, we'll look at how to give the summary its due. We'll also talk about letters of inquiry: what they are, when to use them, and how to make them effective. And we'll examine how to make successful first approaches to funding sources.
Friday - Lesson 10
You've written a great grant . . . now you need to send it out and get it funded. Today we'll talk about researching funding sources. By the end of this lesson, you'll know who funds government programs and where to get the best information. You'll also know where to find out about private foundations and corporate funding. Finally, you'll come to understand the sometimes arcane language of guidelines and extract the details you need.
Wednesday - Lesson 11
What image do you want to present to your funding sources? The tips you'll get today (including ways to assemble and package your grant) will help you present your proposal in the best light. We'll review what supporting data you'll need and talk about what you have to do after you've submitted your grant.
Friday - Lesson 12
In this lesson, we'll cover writing style . . . what works and what doesn't. We'll discuss how to ensure that your organization is ready to apply for a grant. And we'll talk about grant writing as a career-including what it means to work on retainer and why you should never work on a contingency basis. By the end of this lesson (which is the end of this course), you'll be well-equipped to get out there and get grants!

You'll learn all about managing shutter speed, composition, lighting, and you'll find out what makes a sports photo look great.
Wednesday - Lesson 09
In lesson, you'll learn about macro and abstract photography. Macro photography uses specialized lenses and lens attachments that allow you to get very close to items, while abstract photography focuses on photos that may not have a discernable subject. You'll be surprised to know that you can use both of these techniques to create beautiful photos of people, and in this lesson, you'll find out how.
Friday - Lesson 10
One of the more challenging types of people photography is shooting formal events, such as proms and weddings.

Project Management Applications
Course Objectives
Understand the stages of team development, and you'll gain skills in developing and motivating team leaders.
Learn how to understand and relate to an organizational culture and the differing characteristics of its work groups.
Learn about project software, statistics, change management, processes, and estimating.
Outline of Instruction
Wednesday - Lesson 01
In our first lesson, you'll learn how to use a variety of project management data collection tools including check sheets, histograms, performance charts, and process definition tools such as work breakdown structure (WBS) and flowcharts. After you master these tools, you'll be able to increase your project management effectiveness by leaps and bounds.
Friday - Lesson 02
Estimating is a very important activity for every organization. It helps you calculate time and costs for your project. When you successfully use estimates, your actual cost of project work is very close to your projections. In today's lesson, you'll learn how to apply quantitative and qualitative estimating methods, such as historical analogy, the walk through and Delphi methods, expected value, and estimates under uncertainty.
Wednesday - Lesson 03
Earned value is gaining in popularity in project management circles. Although some people view it as a new concept, they're often surprised to learn that it's been around for more than 30 years. In today's lesson, I'll define earned value, describe its history, and discuss its benefits. You'll learn about the graphical and mathematical overview of earned value, and discover how to create a step-by-step earned value performance measurement (EVPM) system.
Friday - Lesson 04
Gantt charts, along with work breakdown structure (WBS), earned value performance measurement (EVPM), and the precedence diagram method (PDM), make up the big four of project management. A Gantt chart may be the most popular tool associated with project management because it's an easy to follow timeline chart. In today's lesson, you'll learn about the history of Gantt charts, find out how to create one, and discover their benefits and limitations.
Wednesday - Lesson 05
Network scheduling, along with earned value, represents one of the most technical aspects of project management. If you enjoy working with charts and numbers, this lesson is right up your alley! As with earned value, the precedence diagram method (PDM) includes a fair amount of terminology and a little bit of tricky math. Today you'll learn the basics of networks and see how they relate to project management. You'll discover activity-on-arc (AOA) and activity-on-node (AON) network scheduling methods and understand how to use task dependencies, dummy activities, and float time.
Friday - Lesson 06
In today's lesson, we'll take a break from using calculators and studying elaborate models. You'll learn how resource planning, work flow diagrams, and storyboards can help you create and implement an effective project plan. I'll also show you how to define and implement a project change control system and to how control project costs.
Wednesday - Lesson 07
Today, we'll discuss a few more tools to help you with your projects. We'll begin with cost-volume analysis, a tool to help you optimize choices using costs, volume, and desired profits. We'll move on to Monte Carlo simulation, a sophisticated tool you can use when you deal with completely random conditions. You'll learn how to use force field analysis, a tool that helps you evaluate a decision based on pros and cons, and apply the Pareto principle, a 200-year-old concept that helps you to focus on what's important.
Friday - Lesson 08
I believe that too many people in the project management field place too high of an emphasis on the role of project management software. While it has an important role to play as a tool, software is not a substitute for sound planning, effective implementation and control, and positive leadership. In today's lesson, I'll discuss the nature of project management software and help you identify winning techniques and processes. You'll read two case studies to help you understand issues pertaining to software implementation. You'll learn why some people are reluctant to use project management software, and discover ways to evaluate and select a software supplier.
Wednesday - Lesson 09
Many project managers and team members struggle to improve their projects' output. Despite their best efforts to improve customer satisfaction, project personnel are often unable to make much progress. The best way to succeed is to use statistics and a data-driven approach to characterize and improve your projects. Today, you'll learn about the measures of location (median, mode, and mean), the normal curve, and measures of dispersion (range, mean absolute deviation, variance, and standard deviation). You'll see how the Taguchi loss function is an alternative to traditional go/no-go inspection. You'll also learn how to measure variation, use prevention, and apply statistical process control (SPC) to help you produce predictable and acceptable results.
Friday - Lesson 10
Today, we'll discuss the dimensions of the project team. For your project to succeed, you need a skilled project manager and committed capable project team members. You'll learn how to identify essential competencies of an effective project manager, and how to establish a winning project team. You'll understand what it takes to recruit, evaluate, and select project team members. And you'll also learn about the concepts of a core team, extended team, and the overly important project team.
Wednesday - Lesson 11
I believe a potent combination of a high-functioning project team and a capable project manager is essential for your success in project management. Effective project teams come together through careful planning and action. In today's lesson, we'll discuss work group theory, contrast formal and informal work groups, and identify informal work group characteristics. You'll learn about the stages of team development, understand why change is so important for your project, and find out why people are reluctant to change. You'll learn how to overcome resistance to change and empower your project team.
Friday - Lesson 12
Today, we'll discuss fundamental organizational concepts. You'll discover the purpose of an organization chart and learn why a matrix organization is a common project management organizational structure. You'll understand key coordinating principles such as authority, responsibility, accountability, and power. And you'll gain insights into organizational culture by developing a deeper understanding of values and beliefs, the elements of successful delegation, and various theories of motivation and leadership.

Advanced Microsoft Excel 2016
Course Objectives
Learn how to work with the additional analysis tools provided by Excel add-ins and become skilled in using validation to protect the integrity of your worksheets from less experienced users.
Learn how to add functional and eye-catching custom controls to any worksheet and how to use scenarios and data tables to quickly perform what-if data analysis.
Discover ways to work with databases and advanced techniques for PivotTables, like creating Timelines, calculated fields, and calculated items.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - Customizing Excel
In this course, you'll explore Microsoft Excel's sometimes-overlooked and advanced features. You'll learn how to use data analysis tools and techniques to improve your decision making and practice generating accurate data more quickly. By the end of this course, you'll be well prepared to contribute more value to your organization with your advanced understanding of Excel. To kick things off, you'll spend this first lesson learning how you can modify Excel to streamline processes and make your work easier. You'll use the Excel Options dialog box to customize some of Excel's behind-the-scenes behavior, set up your Quick Access Toolbar, and take a look at the status bar and its customizable features. Mastering these processes will lay the foundation for your exploration of advanced topics throughout the course.
Lesson 2 - Table Management
In this lesson, you'll explore some great table management features in Excel, learn how to use data forms with Excel databases, and look at a few alternative database techniques. You'll be glad to know that working with tables has become much easier in this latest version of Excel. Now, instead of applying filters, total rows, and formats separately, you can perform these actions through a single user interface. You'll also learn how data forms provide a more user-friendly method for adding, deleting, and editing records in a table, and practice using a data form to search for and view records that match specific criteria. The lesson will wrap things up with a brief look at some of the practical applications for data forms.
Lesson 3 - Data Validation
In this lesson, you'll tackle data validation techniques-your first line of defense against incorrect or missing data and the logical next step after data forms. You'll practice using whole number, decimal, date, time, list, and other forms of validation. After that, you'll explore the possibilities of custom validation, which allows you to apply validation to a cell or range of cells based on a formula you create. The possibilities for using it are limitless! You'll also learn how to create input messages and error alerts to guide the user's data entry, how to keep track of validation rules, and how to apply a custom validation rule to other cells so that you don't have to create it all over again.
Lesson 4 - Custom Controls
In the first three lessons, you learned what you might call intro-level advanced Excel topics, and now it's time to head into more complex territory. So in this lesson, you'll start working with custom controls-graphical objects that help facilitate data input and are sure to impress users. You'll start by getting your Ribbon set up to work with custom controls and then walk through some practice exercises. You'll learn how to create standard and drop-down list boxes, check boxes, option buttons, and group boxes. You'll also master the process of creating a dynamic list box, which allows you to control the values in one list box based on the values chosen by your user in a separate custom control.
Lesson 5 - Conditional Formatting
In this lesson, you'll discover how to use conditional formatting (and not just creating validation based on cell values!). You'll do a quick review of that process, just as a refresher, but after that you're going to focus on formula conditional formatting. You'll work through nine different practice exercises that explore row conditional formatting and then learn how the formula works after each exercise. You'll see how to use conditional formatting to hide errors, to highlight records based on multiple criteria, to track and alert you about due dates, to find the differences between two lists, to shade every other row, and more. You'll especially enjoy learning how to set up a scorecard, which will show you problem areas in red, possible problems in yellow, and everything running smoothly in green.
Lesson 6 - Consolidating and Outlining
In this lesson, you'll learn how to use Excel's consolidation function to efficiently summarize data from multiple sources. A lot of people do this the hard way, but with Excel's automatic consolidation feature, you'll no longer need to develop a web of formula links to multiple sources. Goodbye, potential for human error! You'll begin with an exercise on consolidating data within the same workbook, and after that, you'll practice consolidating using an advanced technique with category labels and wildcards. Next, there will be a practice exercise on consolidating from multiple workbooks. You'll also learn how to use automatic and manual outlining to view or hide different levels or sections of your information.
Lesson 7 - Excel Functions and Nesting
Excel's functions are too numerous to completely cover in one lesson, so this lesson will just focus on a few important ones spanning four categories: Logical, Database, Math & Trig, and Lookup & Reference. You'll start the lesson with an overview of functions, take a look at the Insert Function dialog box, and then practice working with the IF function, nesting functions, the DSUM function, and the VLOOKUP function-all of which will come in handy when you need to perform a quick, thorough analysis of your data.
Lesson 8 - Import External Data
In this lesson, you'll find out all about importing external data. You'll begin with a practice exercise to get you comfortable with importing data from another Excel file, during which you'll see how to use the built-in Query Editor, which used to be an optional add-in known as Power Query. You'll test two methods for refreshing the target area for the imported data and find out how to edit any type of query. After that, you'll do an import from an external database that combines two database tables into a single import. Finally, you'll learn how to perform a web query, which-you guessed it-allows you to import data from the Internet. The web query feature is another fantastic feature in Excel.
Lesson 9 - Data Tables
It's time to look at data tables, which let you compare the outcomes of different versions of the same formula without slogging through the process of calculating each of them. Data tables are very powerful what-if analysis tools that are great for analyzing potential outcomes of personal or business financial decisions. In this lesson, you'll learn how to use two types of data tables: a one-variable data table (which lets you substitute just one variable into the formula calculation) and the two-variable data table (which allows you to change multiple aspects of the formula).
Lesson 10 - What-If Analysis Tools
In this lesson, you'll explore three more of Excel's what-if analysis tools: Goal Seek, Scenario Manager, and Solver. You'll find out how to use Goal Seek to solve formulas backward-for example, you might want to do this if you knew the result you wanted but needed to determine how to change a single input cell in order to get that desired result. After that, you'll practice using Scenario Manager to create and save different input values and their results as scenarios (great for working on budgets). Finally, you'll put Excel's Solver to work to discover the optimal solution to models that have multiple variables and constraints.
Lesson 11 - Advanced PivotTables
In this lesson, you'll discover how to use PivotTables, which are excellent for summarizing massive amounts of data and viewing different cuts of the information quickly. There are two methods for creating PivotTables, and you'll practice using both. You'll also learn how to edit a PivotTable, how to filter the table to create individual reports, how to format a PivotTable to make it reader-friendly, how to insert a Timeline, and how to create and use calculated fields and items. After this, you'll create a PivotChart based on the data fields in your PivotTable. You may not be quite done with the course, but after mastering PivotTables and PivotCharts, you'll certainly be able to count yourself an advanced Excel user.
Lesson 12 - Analysis ToolPak, Advanced Filter, Array Formulas, and More!
The final lesson begins with a look at the functions available in the Analysis ToolPak, including two popular choices: the Moving Average and Sampling tools. You'll complete an exercise using advanced filters, and then look at some Excel tips and tricks. You'll find out how to work with the View Side by Side tool and how to use the Watch Window to keep tabs on your data when you're updating a workbook. The lesson wraps things up with practice exercises using array formulas and the AutoSum Tool. When you're done with this lesson-and the course-you'll want to pass along the techniques you've learned to friends and colleagues who are still wrestling with Excel!

Introduction to XML
Course Objectives
Learn the elements of programming: variables, loops, and branching.
Study methods for formatting XML so it looks great on Web pages using cascading style sheets and XSL.
Understand how XML simplifies computer programming, and you'll have built a surprisingly sophisticated cookbook program that displays, modifies, searches, imports, and deletes recipes stored in XML format.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - Creating Your First XML Document
In this first lesson, you'll install and personalize one of the greatest bargains in computer programming-Microsoft's free, yet powerful, Visual Studio (VS) Express. After decades of fine-tuning, the VS programming suite is widely considered one of the most efficient ways to communicate with computers. You'll use the VS XML editor to create your first XML document. (The editor shows you any mistakes and even writes half the code for you!) And by the end of the lesson, you'll discover that programming can be both easy and fun. You'll be on your way to using XML in your personal projects or in your career.
Lesson 2 - Mastering the Basics of XML Documents
Let's explore the rest of the fundamentals of XML. We'll compare XML and HTML and examine the main similarities and differences between the two languages. And we'll look at adding comments and attributes in XML. When we've finished with those fundamentals, we'll begin to create our cookbook project, using the Visual Studio (VS) we discussed in our first lesson together.
Lesson 3 - Understanding Computer Programming
Today's lesson is all about programming. We'll explore the most common programming techniques, including creating variables, setting up loops, and telling the program how to make decisions by branching to alternative sections of code. You'll also learn how to use the editor's Design window to align and resize controls. The goal is to make your program's user interface look clean and professional. And finally, you'll write your first serious XML programming-going through your cookbook document one recipe at a time (looping) and copying each recipe's title into a listbox so your users can select whatever recipes they want to see. During this lesson, you'll discover just how much fun programming can be!
Lesson 4 - Formatting XML With Cascading Style Sheets
It's time to take control of your XML formatting. In this lesson, we'll focus on ways to make XML look good when people view it in browsers. You'll specify exactly how you want your XML data displayed. You'll create style rules about color, position, size, and typeface (font) to make your content look great on a Web page. And finally, you'll add code to the cookbook program that displays a recipe's instructions when the user clicks its title.
Lesson 5 - Formatting With XSL
This lesson introduces an important XML feature: XSL, or Extensible Style Sheet Language. Today you'll learn to present raw data attractively and efficiently in browsers using XSL style sheets. You'll explore transforming your XML data by sorting its elements alphabetically and then displaying them in a table as a numbered list. And you'll also learn how to add a search feature to your cookbook project.
Lesson 6 - Searching With XPath
Today we'll discuss the fundamentals of XPath, XML's query language. You'll see how to search through the data in an XML document to locate a particular element, copy the element into a listbox, and then delete it from the XML document. You'll also practice using two invaluable learning and debugging tools: breakpoints and single-stepping.
Lesson 7 - Transforming XML With XSLT
If you've been wanting to know more about XSLT, today's your chance to learn how to use it. You'll find out how to use XSLT to transform XML structures and how to change an XML file into CSV-comma separated values, a format used to store tables like spreadsheets. You'll practice other transformations such as adding, deleting, and renaming elements in an XML document. And you'll also see how to use the Visual Studio editor's XSLT features. Finally, you'll add a needed feature to the cookbook project: refreshing the list of titles.
Lesson 8 - Validating With Schemas
This lesson shows you how to make sure that an XML document is valid. In other words, you'll compare an XML file to a schema file that describes the XML's correct structure and the types of data it must contain. Validation goes beyond the simple concept of a "well-formed" document, which only examines simple errors like missing end tags. But because creating validation files by hand can be complicated and tedious, you'll use the automatic schema generator built into VS. Then, you'll write a custom VB validator program of your own. And finally, you'll make the cookbook project even easier to use by writing code that adds new recipes with one click of an Import button.
Lesson 9 - Exploring XML Graphics
In this lesson, you'll learn to store and display XML graphics. First, we'll work with SVG, an XML format that specializes in creating lines, shapes, color, special text effects, and geometric drawings. SVG is especially useful when you want to display charts, drawings, or diagrams. Then, we'll explore how to display bitmaps, which are photographic images stored on the hard drive already completely rendered. Last but not least, you'll learn some techniques that radically improve the cookbook program's UI.
Lesson 10 - Managing Namespaces
Today we'll focus on namespaces-the XML technique that avoids ambiguity when two element tag names are identical but refer to different things. This happens when you try to merge two or more XML documents: A grocery store means one thing by the tag apple, but a computer store means something else. You'll learn how to attach a unique Web page address (a URL) to a set of tags to avoid this name collision problem. You'll also see how programmers use namespaces in other areas of computing, such as separating commands into individual code libraries. Then you'll add a feature to the cookbook program that allows the user to modify a recipe and automatically save the changes to the XML file!
Lesson 11 - Creating a Homework Quiz Project
We're going to look at two related programs today-one that translates user input into XML, and another that displays the XML data in the form of a quiz. You'll learn how to use both programs in this lesson, creating practice quizzes for students or anyone facing a test.
Lesson 12 - Creating a Coin Collection Program
In our final lesson, we'll explore the two main ways to manage XML data-DOM and SAX. DOM loads the whole XML document into the computer's memory all at once, permitting random-access to the data. SAX, the alternative approach, streams data, leaving only a little in memory at a time. SAX is most useful when you're dealing with immense XML files, but SAX's sequential access (it moves forward-only) makes modifying the XML structure more difficult. You'll also transform the cookbook program into a coin collection program-a searchable notebook that can even display photos of each coin. You'll see how to reuse basic code to create any kind of XML data management program-a stamp collection, family scrapbook, you name it!

Certificate in Legal and Ethical Issues in Healthcare
Course Objectives
Examine the legal implications of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and consider the issues that arise from on-the-job situations such as medication errors, organ donation, and workplace violence.
Explore how the rise of social media has impacted the healthcare industry.
Gain a solid grasp of crucial topics in the healthcare industry that are important to anyone working in the medical field.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - Legal Issues in Healthcare
Healthcare professionals today are acutely aware of the need to understand the legal environment in which they practice. Ever-shrinking resources, shorter lengths of stay, high-acuity patients, availability of more complex information, diverse patient populations, and the use of technology mean that healthcare professionals must understand the legal risks inherent in their practice.
Lesson 2 - Ethical Foundations in Healthcare
Healthcare professionals face ethical dilemmas every day of their professional lives. Ethical decision-making is an important part of the care they provide to their patients and clients. A sound understanding of key ethical issues helps healthcare providers make appropriate ethical decisions during the course of their care.
Lesson 3 - Contemporary Ethical Dilemmas in Healthcare
With the advent of astounding scientific and technological advances in every area of health care, today's healthcare environment is increasingly fraught with complex patient care issues. Healthcare professionals often have varying views on legal and ethical dilemmas that make it difficult to act in ways consistent with their own support for patient autonomy. The variation in individual state approaches to laws and professional standards, as well as specific codes of ethics, makes ethical dilemmas challenging for many healthcare providers and patients and family members.
Lesson 4 - HIPAA and Patient Privacy
Personal health information is protected under federal law. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) provides for the protection and security of personal health information. Both healthcare professionals and consumers must understand the legal and ethical implications of this law and the effects of violations on the patient and the provider.
Lesson 5 - Medication Errors
Medications promote healing, reduce suffering, and contribute to modern medical miracles. However, because thousands of new drugs have been developed recently, because the healthcare environment is increasingly complex, and because patients are older and often sicker, there is increasing risk for medication errors.
Lesson 6 - Social Media and Healthcare
Social media has many characteristics and has become part of the very fabric of today's society. It can be immediate, irreverent, and incredibly powerful. The use of social media in all areas of life, especially health care, is growing exponentially. Used to effectively communicate and connect with other healthcare professionals, the community, and patients, social media also has tremendous risks when not used professionally. Guidelines to ensure its safe and proper use are essential.
Lesson 7 - Organ and Tissue Donation and Recovery
The gift of organ donation is the gift of life. However, the gap between those who need an organ or tissue donation and the number of donations available is wide and growing. Healthcare providers need to understand the issues surrounding organ and tissue donation and recovery so they can effectively support the needs of donor families and donor recipients.
Lesson 8 - Workplace Violence in Healthcare
Workplace violence is an increasing problem in organizations today and is especially challenging in the healthcare industry. Considered a human rights issue, workplace violence affects the dignity of millions of people worldwide and is a major source of inequality, discrimination, stigmatization, and workplace conflict. The consequences to organizations and employees are staggering and include negative financial, safety, and health-related outcomes.

The Craft of Magazine Writing
Course Objectives
Learn brainstorming techniques designed to practically write every article for you.
Discover where ideas originate and get started as a writer of nonfiction magazine articles.
Learn how to simply acknowledge it and then get writing once again.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - Getting Started; Finding Ideas
Did you know that you don't have to be an expert on a topic to write a magazine article about it? And you don't need a wall of diplomas to be a writer, either. If you think it's necessary to have taken formal courses in writing, journalism, or communications to write, reconsider that idea. In this lesson, you'll discover where ideas originate and get started as a writer of nonfiction magazine articles.
Lesson 2 - Getting Started; Finding Ideas (Continued)
Ask a magazine writer about the genres available to this profession and you'll learn about consumer topics, informational pieces, question-and-answer formats, true crime articles, and a bunch more. You'll hear about how-to articles, too. If you've been seriously thinking about writing for magazines-which I hope you have-you need to know about the categories. You'll begin that investigation today.
Lesson 3 - Getting to Know Your Market Guidebook
You've just purchased the latest market guidebook with the writing guidelines for oodles of magazines. It's awesome, complex, and exciting. If you feel overwhelmed, you're not alone. Some new writers get copies of market guidebooks and, once they've thumbed through them, put them aside. The books can be intimidating. But after this lesson, you'll be a pro at selecting magazines that want articles from you. By the end of it, you'll be able to use an innovative outlining tool, called The Bubble Method, which will help you make every single topic a potential article.
Lesson 4 - Getting to Know Your Market Guidebook (Continued)
What is a query letter? Do nonfiction article writers really need them? How can you write one that will capture the interest of editors? That's what we'll discuss today-giving you a foundation for writing a query that sells your ideas.
Lesson 5 - Producing Articles; Using Email
In this lesson, you'll get a quick review of production tips and grammar rules. But the gem is a section on how to interview the people, experts, and celebrities that you'll be writing about. Whatever type of article you write, you may have occasion to interview someone. Not being an effective interviewer will diminish your chances of success. However, what you learn today will make interviewing fun and easy.
Lesson 6 - Producing Articles; Using Email (Continued)
Money. It's the topic of this lesson, and we'll discuss it in depth. Then we'll debunk that bugaboo, writer's block. Yes, writer's block is out there, waiting to get your attention and stop you in your tracks. But today you're going to learn how to simply acknowledge it and then get writing once again.
Lesson 7 - Writing Clearly; Knowing Your Reader
Do you know your reader? Most new writers say, "Hey, of course I do." Then they look at me as if I'm from the planet Zod, and they seem to be saying, "What a silly question." But unless you know who you're writing for and write in a fashion that captures and sustains a reader's interest, you'll find writing for magazines a huge challenge. So, today, we'll talk about writing for a reader, ways to create clear and crisp writing, and writing fillers and essays.
Lesson 8 - Writing Clearly; Knowing Your Reader (Continued)
Have you ever wondered how magazine writers know how many words are right for a specific topic? Have you thought about where sidebars come from? Do you want to gain credibility for a nonfiction book and further your profession, cause, or company? You'll get answers to these questions and much more here, in today's lesson.
Lesson 9 - Employing Sound Research Techniques
By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to research topics for articles and understand how to get yourself into the research picture. It's nearly painless and really fun once you know the techniques professional magazine writers use.
Lesson 10 - Employing Sound Research Techniques (Continued)
Do you need to interview an expert or get a quote from one to make your article sparkle? You probably have a book in your house right now that would supply what you're looking for. Today, we'll talk more about finding experts to make your articles sizzle. Then we'll examine the tools you need to self-edit. Self-editing is the polish that turns okay writing into publishable words.
Lesson 11- Marketing Your Articles With Spin-Offs and Revisions; Seasonal and Theme Articles
Recycle your research and you'll be able to sell and resell ideas without reinventing the wheel. That's the focus of this lesson. We'll also discuss writing about theme and seasonal articles, locating regional publications that would be crazy not to have you write for them, and networking with others to increase the number of articles you sell.
Lesson 12- Marketing Your Articles With Spin-Offs and Revisions; Seasonal and Theme Articles (Continued)
You're about to print an article on which you've been working for a week. It's dynamite and headed for publication in a major magazine. This is your lucky break. As weird as it seems to a cyber-savvy writer like you, the editor wants a printed manuscript. After thinking, "This magazine is still in the dark ages," you smile and comply. However, you've run out of paper (or need a printer cartridge) or stamps or some other indispensable writing supply. If this hasn't happened to you yet, it may, unless you realize that time is money. Time management is our final topic and since we only have so much time in our days, today you'll learn how to use what you have, and use it well.

Fundamentals of Supervision and Management
Course Objectives
Learn how to make a successful transition from employee to manager and you'll learn how to manage your time so that you can deal with the constant demands of a managerial job.
Study the skills required to delegate responsibility and motivate your employees.
Explore how to solve problems and resolve conflicts so you can accomplish your job more effectively.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - Introduction to Managerial Work
How has management theory evolved over the last 100 years? In this lesson, we'll take a fascinating glimpse back into the days of assembly lines and scientific management. Why did we need managers in the first place? We'll look at the ways organizations are structured and describe managerial jobs in terms of the technical and managerial tasks that are performed.
Lesson 2 - Making the Transition Into Management
It's time to identify the characteristics of a typical supervisor's day and how they handle daily challenges. In this lesson, you will learn how to make the supervisor's path smoother, such as empowerment and communication. How does one begin to think, act, and look like a manager?
Lesson 3 - The Tasks of a Manager
Is leadership distinct from management? Do you have what it takes to be a leader, or are you cut out to be just a manager? In this lesson, we'll look at the evolution of leadership research and begin to discuss the fascinating field of motivation. Believe it or not, a good leader can build motivation right into the design of a job.
Lesson 4 - Managing Tasks, Performance, and Time
In this lesson, you will learn how a supervisor can handle the challenges of delegation, performance management, and time management. Once you understand the challenges of the typical day, you will understand the importance of time management to a supervisor.
Lesson 5 - Introduction to Motivation
It's time to really dig into the topic dear to many managers' hearts-motivation! In this lesson, we'll clarify what managers need to understand about human motivation, and help you to understand the links between motivation and productivity.
Lesson 6 - The Best-Known Researchers in Motivation
Motivational theories are great as long as they truly help you to manage people at work every day. We'll look closely at four theories that pass that test in this lesson: Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Herzberg's two-factor theory of motivation, the three levels of human need in Alderfer's theory, and the three needs outlined by McClelland.
Lesson 7 - Motivation Theories
Do you believe that people naturally want to do a good job? Or are people lazy by nature and need to be watched? In this lesson, find out if you're a Theory X or a Theory Y-type of manager. There are self-fulfilling prophecies to each of those beliefs.
Lesson 8 - Understanding the Theories of Motivation
This lesson defines two more very practical and influential motivational theories; equity theory and expectancy theory. This lesson wraps up the theoretical about the importance of creating a motivational environment.
Lesson 9 - Introduction to Conflict Resolution and Problem-Solving
Now comes the hard part: when real life doesn't work out the way the theories said it should. What happens when conflict arises? This lesson explores conflict and conflict resolution. You will learn about specific techniques of negotiation, a particular type of conflict management.
Lesson 10 - Models of Conflict Resolution and Problem-Solving
This less about conflict and problem-solving in work groups? This lesson identifies means of solving conflict between groups. You will also learn a problem-solving model that is useful in work and in life.
Lesson 11 - Working Through Problems
This lesson explores the problem-solving model and talks about the importance of establishing objectives, generating alternatives, and choosing a solution.
Lesson 12 - Implementing Solutions to Problems and Conflicts
Your final lesson concludes the problem-solving model discussion and gives you the tools you need to carry the plan through to completion. You will explore the conflicts that may arise while solving problems and completing action plans.

Romance Writing
Course Objectives
Learn about the genre of romance and exploring why you fell in love with your favorite romance novels.
Explore how to craft three-dimensional characters your readers will love and how to weave a plot so your story grabs the reader's interest from page one.
Gain valuable techniques-your "romance writer's toolbox"-to apply to your own manuscript.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - What Is a Romance Novel?
In the first lesson, you'll learn a simple definition for a romance and discover the hallmark element of all romance novels. (Think it's just a love story? Think again!) We'll talk about why fulfilling reader expectations is so important, and you'll get an overview of the subgenres found in romance to see where your idea might fit. Finally, you'll take a look at the romances that have really resonated with you-the ones you read over and over again-to discover what makes a "great" book "great."
Lesson 2 - The Elements of Romance
In this lesson, you'll explore what's needed to create a romance that readers will come to again and again. The lesson will begin by outlining a short list of romance classics that are as popular today as when they were first written. Then, you'll look at a classic book and use it to demonstrate the eight essential and three optional elements all romance novels should have in order to meet reader expectations.
Lesson 3 - Characters: The Heartbeat of Romance
Our third lesson introduces you to the heart of the romance novel-the characters. In this lesson, we'll talk about what readers expect from your heroine and hero, as well as your options for making your hero and heroine uniquely your own. We'll also explore how to use secondary characters to support your central story, and examine examples drawn from some favorite romances and romantic-comedy movies.
Lesson 4 - Getting to Know Your Characters
Here, we go deeper into characterization. You'll learn to use tools that will help you get to know your characters on a deeper level. Knowing your characters inside and out will help you make them come alive on the page and better reach the high level of reader satisfaction you want your romance to deliver.
Lesson 5 - Goal, Motivation, and Conflict
This lesson covers three concepts that serve as the bridge between character and plot development: goal, motivation, and conflict. Throughout the lesson, we'll create a character's GMC chart, noting story goals, the character's motivation, and the internal and external conflicts he or she faces. You'll see how developing the GMC chart provides information that will help you create plots that challenge your characters and satisfy your readers.
Lesson 6 - The Basics of Plot
Now we're going to get to the meat of your romance: the plot. We'll discuss the difference between story plot and romantic plot, then take a look at the different kinds of romance plots that are common in the genre. Ultimately, we'll see how identifying your basic plot pattern can help as you're writing your romance.
Lesson 7 - Plotting 2.0
This lesson will continue the discussion on plotting. Here, you'll explore the main components of a plotline and examine how to weave in subplots to enhance your main plot. You'll also see how you can organize your plot according to the Three Act Structure to ensure readers are eager to stick with it all the way to your HEA ending. Finally, you'll learn about some typical beginner's mistakes that you'll want to avoid as you're developing your plot.
Lesson 8 - Scene and Sequel
There's still more to be said about plotting! Here, you'll explore how the elements you use to build your plot form the basic structure we looked at last time. You'll start by examining how you'll use cause and effect to create believable events that draw the reader in. Then we'll look at the building blocks of plot, scene, and sequel, and see how you can use them to structure the ebb and flow of your story.
Lesson 9 - Emotional Appeal
Evoking emotion in readers is a key element in romance. Today, we'll discuss two tenets of romance writing along with various tools that will help you write emotionally packed scenes. Finally, we'll discuss the all-important topic of writing a sex scene-whether or not your story even needs one, and how you can ensure the scene moves your reader along with your characters.
Lesson 10 - Fiction Writing Craft I
Good writing is good writing, whether you're drafting a romance, a sci-fi adventure, or a thriller. In this lesson, we'll begin to look at the elements of a writer's craft that you'll need to master on your way to penning your romance. We'll cover three crucial elements that are central to all fiction: dialogue, pacing, and point of view. We'll examine examples of each in depth so that by the end of the lesson, you'll be ready to start applying what you learn to your own romance.
Lesson 11 - Fiction Writing Craft II
In this lesson, we'll continue our exploration of important elements of writing fiction: research, setting, mood, and tone. You'll learn why research is so important, how setting can reflect and even impact your characters, and how mood and tone contribute to the overall impact of your romance.
Lesson 12 - After "The End"
After all your hard work, you'll finally be able to write "The End." But you're still not done! In this lesson, we'll discuss the steps writers need to take after they've finished the first draft of their manuscript. We'll learn about the need for revisions and editing, discuss the importance of critique groups and partners, and wrap the class up with tips on submitting your manuscript for publication.

Travel Writing
Course Objectives
Learn how to profit from your experiences in exotic lands by learning how to write and sell travel articles and books.
Develop the skills of a travel writer so you can translate sensory experiences into publishable writing.
Outline of Instruction
Overview of the Travel Market
Would you like your writing to make a destination, restaurant, or festival jump off the page? Do you want your readers to long to find their passports, grab suitcases, and have the post office hold their mail? This lesson covers what you need to know to get started, how to create different types of travel writing and how to begin thinking and writing like a travel writer, even if you're only traveling around your own hometown.
Keeping a Travel Writer's Journal
Do you keep notes when you visit incredible locations? Do you read about a place before you visit it? Do you gather tidbits and retell the stories of your trips, keeping family, friends and co-workers on the edges of their chairs? If so, you're thinking like a travel writer. This lesson focuses on keeping a travel journal and covers writing techniques you'll use when capturing your travels , even when you're traveling close to home. The lesson also provides some questions to spark your travel-writer's brain and shares some tips about organizing your materials.
Writing Travel Articles
The genres (categories or types) of articles and essays about travel are limited only by your imagination. Do you want to know how to write destination pieces, food articles, round-up pieces, advice or personal experience pieces? That's what you learn in this jam-packed lesson. With this information, you're well on your way to a career (full or part-time, mind you) as a travel writer.
Writing Travel Books
Are you addicted to travel books, collections of travel essays, or books such as "Under the Tuscan Sun"? Travel books sell so well that many bookstores are devoted specifically to them. In large stores like Barnes & Noble, sections and shelves are piled high with travel books. Most of them have specific sections for travel essay books, too. In this lesson, learn what it takes to write travel books that publishers snap up and that hungry armchair travelers snatch off the shelves.
Making Plans for Travel
Travel writers should never leave home without packing their sense of adventure, sense of humor and determination to capture their travels in image-filled writing (prose, not poetry). How do they prepare? That's the focus of this lesson. The lesson talks about organizing materials before you go on any trip. Learn how to plan the trip, how to contact publications before going and how to dig beneath the surface to find the story within the story. By learning these techniques, you discover tricks to capture a reader's interest.
Writing Techniques
Do you ask lots of questions? Have you ever thought that simply asking can provide some of the best travel tips you could discover? That's what this lesson covers. Yes – how to ask questions. In other words, interview to get information that will put your writing talents above other writers. Wait! There's more. The lesson also talks about the need to find the perfect title for your work, how to interview to get the story beneath the surface and how to connect with the people in the locations you're writing about.
Outline Methods That Work Every Time
By the time you've reached this lesson, you understand that there are article and book ideas everywhere. You see possibilities just driving around your town or city. While these ideas sound simple, some new writers pass over them thinking that they're, well, too simple to be effective. This lesson shares some professional tools you can use to tap into creative juices that will generate oodles of ideas. This helps you figure out exactly what your readers want. It may also help you discover what editors want before other writers come to the same conclusions.
Working Like a Travel Writer
This lesson will talk about the work of being a travel writer. Learn about taxes and deductions, how to organize your home office and how to select the tools that you'll need to be a writer. You probably have many of the tools already. The lesson also goes over ways to avoid, or get over, that bugaboo known as writer's block. Yes, there is a cure, even if you've been down in the dumps with it for weeks, months or years.
Submitting Like a Pro
Most writers have a difficult time editing their work. A few are too easy on themselves. Others are ruthless. These same writers begin to fear creative urges and what they commit to paper. One of the goals of this course is to get you to enjoy the feel of words before you go back to pick out the keepers. In addition to learning about self-editing, you get some valuable insights and information about writing query letters, the concepts of writing on spec or on assignment, manuscript production formats and dialogue.
Research and Online Techniques
This lesson talks about research and ways you can find information about a location, culture, destination and other travel writing areas. Look at some different ways to connect with travel sources. The lesson also discusses the issue of freebies, because, depending on the publication you're writing for, you may actually find yourself in a pickle if you accept something that only seems to be free.
Photos and Travel Writing
Don't you just love the travel photos in magazines? This lesson covers basic camera savvy and helpful picture-taking techniques along with information on stock photos. Smart travel writers take photos to sell along with articles, making their writing more desirable to editors and publishers. This lesson won't instantly turn you into an expert professional photographer, but it helps you take better photos in general.
Recycling Your Material
Writers are idea machines, and they generally have more of them circling around in their heads than there is time to jot them in their writer's journal, turn out queries or write articles. When selecting topics to write about, you have to do some research to develop them into full-blown articles. Once this research is done, don't stop with just one article on a topic. Recycle your research, and you're able to sell and resell the material, which is exactly what professional travel writers do. This final lesson talks about writing spin-offs, finding creative sources for travel writing and combining travel writing with other genres.

Introduction to Lightroom
In this course, you can use Lightroom CC (part of an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription) or Lightroom 6 to see how this powerful program can help you prepare, edit and organize your photos quickly and effectively. Using Lightroom's non-destructive editing, you're able to control how you edit your images and make additional alterations later.
Course Objectives
Learn how to apply changes to multiple images while developing an efficient image-processing workflow
Study how to organize, tag and make collections with Lightroom's powerful organization tools, and create customized slideshows
Discover how to make panoramic images and fine-tune the overall color and lighting of your images
Outline of Instruction
Take time to make sure you're comfortable with the way the online classroom works, downloading images for class and where things are in Lightroom. Learn how to create an organizational system that works with Lightroom and keeps your images easily available. With Lightroom's import tools, you can add keywords to images and add personalized metadata for easy searches and internet security.
Learn shortcuts for photographers working with Lightroom and several different ways to speed up the import process. Explore a variety of methods to add keywords and use them to search and sort your images. By the end of this lesson, you have all the tools you need to import, categorize and sort images for a clean start to managing your images.
Explore how Lightroom works behind the scenes, something you'll want to know as we move into developing or making changes to your images with Lightroom. With an understanding of how the Library module works for importing, organizing and exporting images, you're ready to work with Lightroom's Quick Develop tools. Learn how to make quick changes, not just to one image, but to groups and large batches of images. This is just the beginning of our journey through Lightroom's Develop tools. You also learn how to work with multiple images and make virtual copies, all part of Lightroom's quick and easy developing tools.
Explore the Develop module and the many tools for editing and adjusting images. You get lots of hands-on practice with tools for straightening, rotating and cropping images. It may seem like a straightforward subject, but Lightroom has many variations, so you can perfect both the shape and the size of your images. You may prefer to straighten based on a horizon in the image or by fine-tuning the alignment against a grid. You can crop to a variety of different preset shapes, create your own custom shape or crop by hand.
Color is an integral part of the perfect print, and it's important to see how Lightroom helps you adjust your overall color tone and lighting with several sophisticated tools. Learn how to pick the best white balance for your images, use a histogram to adjust the light and find and correct problem areas with exposure clippings. These changes may be simple, but the right color and lighting bring your pictures to life, and you'll want to start the development process with these adjustments.
With a focus on color, you see how a subtle adjustment can clear away muted tones. Work with contrast, shadows, highlights, saturation, vibrance and more. You also learn how to use the Radial Filter tool. You may not know exactly what each of these does, but you'll find it's easy to experiment until you like what you see and gradually master the tools.
See the difference when you sharpen an image. Photographers work hard to shoot crisp images, but at times, things don't go as planned. You can put the snap back into your images with Lightroom's tools by working with sharpening and noise-reduction tools, and then you see how to apply any of the editing options to batches of images, bringing Lightroom's two best features together.
Learn how to synchronize or copy changes from one image to many. But not all changes are meant to be copied, and you can work with several tools, like Red Eye Correction, Spot Removal and the Adjustment Brush, to see how Lightroom corrects subtle issues in selected areas.
Learn how to export Lightroom images. There are many options for size, shape and further editing. Whether you're working with a raw image or a JPEG file, Lightroom can efficiently process your images, save your changes and provide images you can upload to printers, create scrapbooks with or use with Adobe's companion products: Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.
Learn how to use Lightroom's Print module to create a variety of output options. Whether you print at home or send your images out to print, Lightroom has a number of menus you should be familiar with. See how to print single images, create contact sheets and customize layouts for many purposes. Once you've mastered the Print module, you are ready to print with all the advantages of using Lightroom.
Learn how to rate images with star ratings and color labels, as well as how to create collections. With all these tools, you can categorize and find things with very little effort, especially if you're using Lightroom's facial recognition feature. Learn how to use Lightroom as a fast tool for locating images and moving forward in your workflow. You can work simply with Quick Collection and Target Collection, or you can create a sophisticated network of your own collections.
Explore Lightroom's slideshow and identity plates to see how to create both a PDF presentation and an MP4 slideshow with music and special effects from your Lightroom collections. You can also build an Identity Plate that you can use both in printing and presentations.

Designing Effective Websites
You examine the tension between form and function, explore the six major states of the website development process and learn the basics of user-centered design. You also look at the five basic steps to organizing information, find out how site design themes can be used for information delivery and review website design considerations. Along the way, you learn about effective type and graphics and explore the idea of making a website fully interactive. This course is a must for web designers, giving the tips and tools that will help them establish a solid career.
Course Objectives
Master the basics of web design and learn to build sites that are better and more effective
Learn graphic design techniques that will help your site stand out from others
Outline of Instruction
Visitors are attracted by good design, but content is what keeps them at the site longer and motivates them to return. Learn how to use two tools to attract and retain visitors: design critiques and a content inventory. Explore the six major development stages that yield expert design and smart content. Then, study the three parts of web design and the skills you need for each.
Designing an interface is easy, but designing an effective one is more challenging. Explore the four main elements you need to consider to make your site user-centric – usability, visualization, functionality and accessibility – to see the thought that goes into effective interface design.
Even if your basic content is accurate, attractive and well-written, your site won't function well without a solid and logical organizational foundation. Review the five basic steps involved in organizing information and four essential structures that you can use to build a website. Then, learn how to create a flowchart for the pages you want to include on your site.
Websites exist to inform, educate, persuade or entertain. Concentrate on site design themes that pay attention to information delivery. Learn how to organize elements to enable visitors to accomplish their own goals. Explore usability, content and design.
Discover how you can use visual and graphic design, page layout and grids to take your designs to the next level. At the same time, become familiar with design considerations like visual hierarchy, page dimensions and white space.
Typography plays a dual role by providing both verbal and visual communication. Almost any font can transmit information to others, but conveying the right mood along with the information takes a special type and color of font. Learn all the secrets here!
Find out how you can use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to modify fonts. Become familiar with inline, document-level and external (linked) style sheets, and learn how to create an external CSS file to control the formatting of any or all pages on your site. More adventurous students can also take a look at some early font embedding techniques and explore two popular Flash-related options.
Before you write for the web, you should take the time to understand how people read online. Become familiar with the use of titles, headlines and subheads to assist readers in navigating your site. Discover the advantages of using a web content management system. Learn how you can communicate more easily and informally with visitors by adding a blog to your site.
You can use images to add interest to your site and to help with navigation. Early designers were limited graphically by HTML attributes, and later designers discovered they could use tables to place images. Today's designers also have the option of using CSS to position images on the screen, but many people still use text-based browsers. Learn how to make the information you convey through your images accessible to those individuals as well.
The combination of HTML, CSS and JavaScript allows you to create intensely interactive web applications similar to any game or presentation built with traditional programming languages. This interaction of HTML, CSS and JavaScript is known as dynamic HTML or DHTML. Become familiar with the basics of DHTML, including code you can use to enhance your designs by adding layers to your pages.
Early websites were created by a few to be read by many. Over the years, developers added interactivity to websites through discussion forums, chat rooms and shopping carts. These features are part of what could be considered Web 1.0. Today, the focus has shifted from the sponsor of the site to the visitor, and sites like Flickr and YouTube are popular. They're examples of Web 2.0 sites. Examine several popular Web 2.0 sites, and take a look ahead to Web 3.0.

Write Effective Web Content
Course Objectives
Learn how to develop a website writing style that speaks to your readers' needs and ensures that your content is clear and easy to understand
Explore ways your web copywriting can convey the right "feel" through your content and get conversations going with your visitors, as well as how to organize your content to produce better search engine rankings and happier readers
Examine ways to make your online copywriting appear as professional and authoritative as possible
Outline of Instruction
There's web content on just about any topic you can imagine. While the topics and purposes of the content may all be different, the writing strategies you need to know to create effective content are all very similar. Start by identifying the three key areas you need to understand to make your content effective, whether you want to sell, entertain or do something else altogether. Also learn about a free tool you can use to find out what people are actually looking for on the web.
All writing comes from ideas, so learn how to bring focus to your ideas using a free, web-based tool. Examine the inverted-pyramid writing style and see how and why you should bring the focus of your content to the top of the webpage. Look at lots of examples of different types of web content and examine how to focus the content and use the inverted pyramid to get the most important information right up front. Of course, if you want to attract lots of readers, the content also needs to be entertaining. Review some strategies to help you accomplish that.
Organizing web content is easier than you might think, and it starts with an outline. Learn some quick tips for making outlining as simple as A, B, C. Look at how headings can help you organize content and chunk information for your readers. Surfers like to scan content for information, whether they're looking for product guides on your business site or the opposing sides of a debate on your blog, and writing effective headings can not only keep readers on your site but also help them find what they want. Discuss bulleted lists and when and how you should use them to group information for your readers.
To write in easy-to-understand plain language, identify the "fluff" in your writing, or the words and phrases that don't add anything but unnecessary word count. The advantage of keeping writing easy-to-read is that visitors will understand your message the first time they read it, whether you're talking about your business or a favorite subject on your blog. Learn about some free tools that tell you how easy your content is to read and even what grade level it's suited to. Discuss the indexes and scales the tools use to analyze your writing, so you'll know what the results mean.
Do you have products you want to sell? Would you like to know some surefire ways to get more followers for your blog? Are you focused on public awareness for your cause? Discuss the ins and outs of writing content aimed at persuading readers. Find out how to reel in readers using power words and how to keep the search engines on your side with keywords. Discuss the importance of honesty in your writing and how to check for that as you compose your copy,
The modern web is often called the social web, where being connected matters a lot. Because connection and online relationships are so important to readers, this is something you want to pay attention to. Look at ways you can build relationships, whether your readers are customers or followers or just interested in what you have to share. Discuss the importance of the word "you," something salespeople have known for years! Look at how to create content that engages readers in a conversation and the power of positive language.
Blogging is much more than a way to reflect on your day-to-day life. Blogs, whether long or short, are rapidly becoming an integral part of every business' marketing plan. Research shows that web readers trust bloggers more than advertising. In fact, 60% of surfers say they feel more positive about a company after reading blog content on a website. Learn what makes an effective blog and look at the ever-expanding world of short blogging tools.
Driving down any busy city street shows us that we live in a visual world. From neon lights to enormous flashing billboards, we find our attention drawn in dozens of different directions. The same is true on the web. Text just doesn't do it anymore, no matter how well you've written it. Discuss how to find free visuals and multimedia elements on the web and how to effectively use these elements to enhance your content.
Want to add some pizzazz to your web content? Explore different types of multimedia that you can include on your pages, such as screencasts, slideshows and videos, and look at how to create educational content using these media. Tutorials are a terrific way to draw in new visitors, no matter what multimedia format you choose. Learn how to create tutorials for your blog or website, writing scripts, creating storyboards and adding screen captures for illustrations.
Customer service is easy if you use polls, surveys and quizzes effectively with your web content. Plus, these tools can help you develop relationships with your visitors by learning more about them. Even if surfers leave comments on your blog or website, a poll or survey can help you understand more about their thoughts and needs. Not sure how to write a poll, survey or quiz? Learn about services that let you add free quiz activities to your content to give your readers more reasons to visit regularly.
Whether your web content is how you make your living or how you have fun, it's important to know how to protect it from theft. It's also a good idea to make sure you understand what content you can legally reuse on the web. Explore intellectual property laws, specifically copyright and trademark laws, and how they apply to your online content.
Look at three important areas that readers use to place a value on your content. Identify some of the most common writing errors and get tips on how to be sure you've got them right. Finally, you need to add a title to your content, so look at how to write some great ones. Learn the process a reader takes to evaluate your web content, which will help you ensure that yours measures up.

Write Your Life Story
Course Objectives
Learn how to create and distribute an inspirational and professional autobiography for family, friends and others
Explore how to bring characters to life, recall vivid memories, engage readers and manage your creative time so you can share a story only you can tell
Outline of Instruction
Discover why only you can write your life story, how to give yourself permission to do it and explore some ways to empower yourself
Where should you start? The beginning might not be the correct answer. Learn about becoming an observer of yourself and others around you. You're hereby given permission to ask questions and eavesdrop on conversations (without being rude, of course). What direction will you take when writing about your life? Will it be a book-length memoir or a collection of shorter essays? Explore the endless possibilities, and learn why you don't have to make any decisions just yet.
Writing a life story is like making a pot of vegetable soup. You assemble all the ingredients, chopping some and maybe peeling others. Then you find a pot that's the right size and begin putting the ingredients in. Next comes the waiting part. You must simmer the soup for a while or it won't be soup – just cold water with raw vegetables. Right now, your life story might be just that: a bunch of ingredients that you need to assemble and let simmer. Learn how to select the right ingredients for cooking up a life story that will satisfy both you and your reader.
Think about the people who have been in your life and discuss their influence on you. To spark your memory and to pull these influential people into your story, fill out character sketches on each person. You might even discover some things about yourself as you reflect on those who have been a part of your world.
When you write your life story, you reveal yourself. You may share moments few know about. You tell your side of events, adventures and episodes. You make judgments, give opinions and speak out, and you may allow others to see sides of you that have never been revealed.
Learn quick, easy and virtually guaranteed methods to spark memories. Investigate your senses and your memories, which might include looking at photographs, going to movies or even eating comfort foods from your past.
Focus on how to jog memories and find creative inspiration. First, start writing in a journal, and by the time the course is over, your writer's journal may be your new best friend. If you're serious about writing the stories in your life, you need time to do it. Learn about time management – where to find writing time and when may be the most creative times for working on your life story.
Learn ways to preserve your story, your own history. Learn how to capture your writer's voice or the voice of the person you're writing about. Everyone has a unique speech pattern and word selection. Your job is to discover these voices and include them in your writing. Also learn how to get ready to interview others for information and how to fill in the blanks you may have in your own story. Find out how to find the information you need through research. The challenge and fun of writing life stories is to write them as if you're sitting across a table from your reader, telling the tales.
If you write, at some point you have to get information from another person. This is especially true when you're writing your life story. Imagine that you want to include how you and a grandparent share the same features, or so you've been told. By interviewing a friend or relative who also knew this person, you can get many more details. That's what interviewing is all about: asking questions to get information. When you're helping another person write a life story, most of the information you get will be through interviews.
Location, location, location! You need to clearly describe the details of the locations in your life story. Learn professional ways to describe your location so that it jumps off the page. Gather up the tools to make your story shine. Yes, it's all in the details. Also learn how to create a mental picture of a typical reader and find out why, as you write your life story, it's smart to concentrate on this person and make sure that they understand what you're saying.
Get a quick review of the grammar you need to know and some tips to make it all much easier. Then, because writer's block is real, pesky and tends to destroy even the most hopeful writer, discover the trick to dealing with this creative brain slowdown: staying focused while giving your mind some serious down time. That doesn't mean you should give up your project or put it on hold. Just take some time out. Find the answers to questions that may have plagued you in the past and stopped you from writing.
When people first begin writing, one of the hardest parts for them is to gently, but relentlessly, edit their own work before they share it with others. Often, to create golden words – the ones that are too beautiful to cut out of a manuscript – they are forced to sacrifice entire paragraphs. Unfortunately, sometimes the golden words are the ones that have to go. Learn how professional writers self-edit and what they do to make their writing sing. Also learn about selecting titles and including supplemental material – focusing on the extras that could make your book visually appealing. Finally, learn how to work with groups and when to share your work.

Have you ever heard that, to be a writer, you need only a pen and paper? That's true. Yet, too many writers throw in other requirements, from a year of unfettered time to a trust fund that will keep them in caviar until the royalties come flooding in. Delve more deeply into the writing life as it exposes some myths about writing.
Self-editing and researching are both skills you'll want to learn so that you can sell your work. It's highly unlikely that you'll ever sell a first draft, and it's equally as unlikely that you'll sell something you didn't research.
If you've written for magazines before, this lesson is a refresher or a nudge. If you haven't written for magazines and would like to, then find out indispensable information that will get you going. With this info, you could find your niche and begin making money as a freelancer, possibly while you're working on your novel.
You won't find every magazine that uses freelance work in your grocery store or bookstore. There are magazines, publications and periodicals with an otherwise large distribution that never even get to these places. And these magazines are looking for short stories, columns, essays and poetry.
Some writers just love to write long fiction and have a story that is burning to get out. If you fit into this group or just wonder how one goes about writing a novel, learn why some people need to get that book out and what it takes to do so. By the end of this lesson, you'll have a working knowledge of the genre possibilities and what it takes to write a novel. Learn how stories are found, how some famous novelists were discovered, how to stay motivated and what has stopped a few hopeful writers from writing.
Now it's time to give the nonfiction genres a turn. Adults are infatuated with nonfiction, and it sells better than any other type of book. There are scads of different genres in nonfiction books. Learn to focus on the types of nonfiction writing and how to get a project started, written and noticed by publishers and agents. Nonfiction books concern real people, places, events, information or situations. Whether you're addicted to reading nonfiction or just want to learn all you can about writing, get information that will help you better understand the world of publishing.
What does it mean to be a ghost in the literary world? Get the scoop on this lucrative business. If you have a talent for emulating peoples' voices and if you're fast, efficient and good with people, this might be the field for you. Learn how to advertise and find clients, how to select appropriate clients and how to maintain a good working relationship so that you can produce the best book possible.
Learn about the roles of editors and agents. Specifically, find out what each of their jobs includes and why you need to know this information. If you're currently writing a novel or a nonfiction book, gathering a collection of poetry or short stories or maybe just dabbling in the idea, find out how agents interact with editors at publishing houses and how you can interact with agents and editors.
Attend any writing conference or sit with a group of published writers, and you're bound to hear words like: self-publishing, POD, co-publishing and e-publishing. Learn the options that are often called alternative publishing. If you're serious about joining the world as a writer, you should be aware of these options.
Learn about the legal side of writing, the sample agreements and contracts that will help keep you in good stead as you become the writer of your dreams. Also learn about royalties, advances and the scoop on that lovely green stuff that pays the bills.
You've got a yearning, a deep burning to write, but the clutter, the mess, the hours spent doing things for others are eating at your heart. What does all of this have to do with creativity? Check the clock, because it's all about time management.

Gain the knowledge and enhance Spanish language skills to bridge the communication gap and better assist Spanish-speaking patients.
Outline of Instruction
Speaking, Spelling and Counting in Spanish
Discover how easy it is to spell and pronounce words en español and learn how to count from 0 to 19.
Words for Talking About People
La familia is central to Latin American life, and family members play a key role in a patient's medical care as well. Learn the Spanish words for those family members, and pick up some handy phrases for conversing with patients and their families. Also learn about pronouns and explore the role of gender in Spanish.
Colors, Directional Words and Numbers From 20 to 199
Power up your Spanish vocabulary by learning the words for colors and directions. In addition, find out how to count all the way to 199 and learn six handy prepositions to beef up your sentence-building power.
Easy Verbs
As a medical professional, you're always in action, so you'll want lots of action words in your Spanish repertoire! To help you master those verbs effortlessly, learn a super-simple conjugation system that uses only three tenses (present, easy past and easy future). In addition, look at two interesting verbs that mean "to be" – ser and estar.
Words for Describing the Body and Medical Conditions
Start zeroing in on the medical Spanish you need to know by taking a look at the parts of the body and learning the words for everything from teeth to toes. After that, peek inside the body and study the internal organs. Finally, delve into the Spanish vocabulary for common medical conditions.
At the Doctor's Office
This lesson covers pregnancy, labor and delivery. Then, move on to pediatrics and explore words related to young patients. For adult patients, look at words for discussing cancer symptoms, tests and treatments and explore ways to assess the mental status of a patient. Also, look at Spanish words for various diets, and discover the little word "hay" and find out why it packs a powerful punch.
Emergency!
In an emergency, every second counts, and this lesson's vocabulary words can help you respond quickly in medical crises involving Spanish-speaking patients. In addition, learn words for describing medical tests, treatments and procedures, so you can inform and reassure patients receiving care in the emergency room. Finally, look at terms you can use to talk with patients and their families about medications.
The Examining Room
Most patients have routine symptoms and ailments, so add words to your vocabulary for discussing these common medical problems. In addition, look at words for instructing patients during a medical exam and then finish the lesson by expanding your toolkit of Spanish words with some new adjectives.
On the Patient Care Floor
Visit the patient care floors and learn words for everything from bedpans to pillows to call buttons. Discover lots of words for talking about time and find out how to explain visiting hours to your Spanish-speaking patients. Finally, explore words for feelings – something that will help you soothe patients when they're sad and celebrate with them when they're happy.
Admitting and Discharge
Patients are constantly coming and going, so it's a good idea to know Spanish words for admitting and discharging them. Learn a set of verbs that will help you talk with patients when they're arriving or leaving. In addition, look at words for talking about insurance and payments.
Words for Talking About Pregnancy and Pediatric Care
This lesson starts with a look at the youngest patients who visit a doctor's office or hospital: the ones who aren't even born yet. After learning about pregnancy, labor and delivery, move on to pediatrics and explore words for making young patients and their parents feel informed and comfortable. As a bonus, the lesson covers words that can get you out of a bind if you don't understand what a Spanish-speaking patient is saying.
Vocabulary for Assisting Adult Patients
Finish your journey through the ages and stages of life by learning about adult patients. Learn words for discussing cancer symptoms, tests and treatments, and explore ways to assess the mental status of a patient en español.

Explore a Career in Nursing
Course Objectives
Learn about several different fields of nursing, from traditional bedside work to nursing informatics
Gain information about what you can do with a graduate degree in nursing
Learn about related health care positions, such as radiology technician or physical therapist
Outline of Instruction
So You Want to Be a Nurse
Discover some of the many benefits of becoming a nurse and review the pros and cons of different pathways to getting a nursing diploma or degree. Review things to think about before you seriously consider nursing school, like prerequisite classes and some of the skills that can help set you up for success.
Medical Basics
Get a crash course in medical basics, including some common medical acronyms and how to decode intimidating medical terminology. Learn about different types of doctors, equipment and tests that nurses encounter and then finish up with an introduction to medical math. These topics may sound scary, but the lesson serves as a foundation to understanding the ones that follow. The information presented can be helpful whether you plan to work in the medical field someday or just want to know a little bit more about what's really happening when you go to the doctor.
Welcome to Nurse Training!
Take a look at exactly what happens in nursing school, from the coursework to the clinical rotations to the exams. But school is just the beginning! After graduation, there's the NCLEX licensing exam, where you demonstrate that you've learned enough to be a safe and competent nurse. Then, it's time for your first nursing position, where you might enroll in a nurse internship or residency or receive additional training in your department. By the end of the lesson, you have a good idea of the different types of training you might go through on your path to becoming a nurse.
The Frontlines of Nursing
Look at the three most common job settings for new nurses: hospital acute care, outpatient clinics and long-term care facilities. Learn about the different specialties you can pursue in each area, the colleagues you might work with and what working as a nurse in these three areas is really like.
Nursing for Adrenaline Junkies
Many people consider ER, OR and ICU nursing the most exciting fields of nursing. Discuss what it's really like to work in these settings and how this compares to what you see on TV. Learn how ERs triage patients, what it means to scrub or circulate in the OR, the different types of ICUs and more.
Nursing for Therapeutic Communicators
There are certain fields in nursing that require more care and compassion than others: psychiatric nursing, hospice nursing, case management and health coaching. These positions are less likely to be adrenaline-fueled, but they're rewarding in their own ways. These are careers that focus on the counseling and patient advocacy roles of nursing. Discuss psychiatric hospitals and substance abuse centers and the people you might work with there, as well as some of the most common tasks in working with patients who are dying and those who are looking to maintain good health and healthy practices.
Nursing for Number Crunchers and 9-to-5ers
Some nursing careers focus on research, education, management and change-agent roles: research nursing, informatics nursing and legal nurse consulting. Although most nurses working in these fields have at least a year of clinical nursing experience, none of these positions requires additional certification or degrees.
Nursing for Those Who Want to Better Their Communities
Community health nursing is a specialty that encompasses a variety of positions, from school nurses to prison nurses to Red Cross disaster relief nurses. Community health nurses engage in all six of the nursing roles, with heavy focus on education, patient advocacy and being a change agent. Explore what it really means to be a community health nurse by learning where you could work and what you might be doing.
Nursing for Those Who Want to See the World
Explore everything from working as a travel nurse in a neighboring town to taking to the high seas as a member of the Navy Nurse Corps. Look at medical mission work like Doctors Without Borders and Mercy Ships.
Pediatric and Obstetric Nursing and More
No nursing survey course would be complete without touching on pediatric and obstetric nursing. Take a look at these specialties and check out a few other nursing positions that involve working on a team instead of in a department. Finally, take a quick peek at what it means to be a charge nurse or nurse manager.
Advanced Practice Nursing: Beyond the Bachelor's Degree
Maybe you want to be a nurse, but you know that you want to do more than basic clinical nursing. You might be thinking about teaching or hospital administration, or perhaps you want to become a nurse practitioner or nurse anesthetist.
If You're Still Not Sure
What if you've gone through this course so far and learned about nursing school and licensing exams and the different fields of nursing, but you still don't know if nursing is right for you? That's OK. The final lesson recaps the highs and lows of nursing and gives you some ideas about alternatives to becoming a nurse. You also look at some strategies for getting more information so you can be armed with the knowledge you need to make a decision.

Owned Forms and Property Procedures
Learn about another important helper form and how to use it in your application: the modeless, or owned form
Multiple Document Interface (MDI) Applications
You probably take for granted that, while you're typing text in Microsoft Word, you can also have other documents open. This function, called Multiple Document Interface, allows you to go back and forth between documents without having to close any. Learn how to add MDI ability to your programs.
Introduction to Databases
Explore the world of databases, which help make sense of data and do useful things with it.

Lesson 04 - Relative, Absolute, Mixed, and Circular References
Do you know the difference between a relative reference, an absolute reference, a mixed reference, and a circular reference? You will after this lesson. In this lesson, you'll learn to write sophisticated formulas that can help ease you through some rather sticky scenarios.
Lesson 05 - Three-Dimensional Workbooks
With enough practice, most Excel users quickly become adept at organizing their worksheets across two dimensions: rows and columns. But only a select few will learn how to take their worksheets into the third dimension. In this lesson, you'll join that exclusive group. Prepare to have your socks knocked off as you gain hands-on experience in the construction of three-dimensional workbooks.
Lesson 06 - Sorting, Subtotaling, and Filtering

You'll find out how to ask Excel to magically derive averages, modes, maximums, minimums, and other useful statistics from nothing more than a column or two of numbers.
Lesson 10 - Financial Functions
You'll continue your exploration of Excel functions with an in-depth look at Excel's handy financial functions. By the time this lesson is over, you'll be able to figure out how much money you'll have when you retire, when your kids reach college, or just before your next vacation. You'll be able to calculate the monthly payment on just about any type of loan, and you'll know how to figure out how long it will take to pay off your credit cards. You'll even create an amortization table of your very own, just like the one lenders use to track a loan's payoff amount over time.
Lesson 11 - Worksheet Automation
In this lesson, you'll find out how to automate just about any task you find tedious or time-consuming. You'll discover how to move your most frequently used commands from their present, obscure locations to a much more convenient place: the toolbar that's always perched at the very top of your screen.

Intermediate Microsoft Excel 2019
Course Objectives
Become a more productive member of your organization.
Build an indispensable skill set.
Learn to fully harness the power of Microsoft Excel 2019.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 01 - Excel Charts and Graphs
In this first lesson, you'll discover why Excel is such a powerful and user-friendly charting tool. To you, a workbook's numbers might tell an interesting story. But to others, that story might not be quite so obvious-they might just see plain old numbers. So, in this lesson, you'll find out how to choose the right chart for telling your story and then how to create, format, and edit your chart to help others clearly visualize that story.
Lesson 02 - More Excel Charts
With so many great charting features and enhancements in Excel 2019, there's no way you could study them all in a single lesson. So, in this lesson, you'll continue exploring Excel's charting options-this time looking at the lesser-known options that are available to you. Even though they aren't well-known, these options can add tremendous value to your worksheets in the right situations. The lesson will walk you through a few of them step-by-step so that you can see the value for yourself.
Lesson 03 - AutoFilter and Sorting
Working with data in Excel can be quite easy-and sometimes even fun-when you know about the extra tools that are available once you have your data arranged in a table format. One of these great tools is the Auto Filter command. In this lesson, you'll learn how to use Auto Filter to limit your table information to just the records you want. Not only does Auto Filter allow for finding exact matches, but it can also filter and sort based on cell shading or font color. How great is that?
Lesson 04 - Goal Seeking
Normally, you'll use your Excel workbooks as a place to enter formulas and get answers. But what if the formula isn't returning the answer you want? If you know what you want, but you just don't know what formula will get you there, then Excel's Goal Seek is exactly what you need. This tool will help you avoid the trial-and-error approach that most Excel users go through to get to the right answer. You'll go through multiple examples, exploring several ways to apply this great feature.
Lesson 05 - Pivot Tables
You'll learn how to use one of the best features of Excel: the PivotTable. If you've heard about PivotTables before, then you'll know what to expect. There's no greater what-if analysis tool to summarize, reorganize, and report data. When you practice creating a PivotTable, you'll discover how "pivoting" your data helps you gain valuable insights by seeing the same information from a different perspective. This is a lesson you won't want to miss!
Lesson 06 - Advanced PivotTables
Just like charting, Excel's PivotTables are too big a topic to fit into one lesson. So, in this lesson, you'll take PivotTables to the next level by taking a tour through some of Excel's more advanced techniques. You'll learn how quick and easy it is to group your data to give your PivotTable even more power. Then, you'll find out how a PivotTable can serve as your source and inspiration for some really nice charts, specifically, the PivotChart. Last, you'll become an expert in using the Excel PivotTable filtering tool called Slicer.
Lesson 07 - Solver
Have you ever worked with a financial model in Excel and wondered how you could speculate different outcomes by changing different input amounts? The Excel Solver can do just that. In this lesson, you'll learn how to use Solver to solve a complex problem based on the criteria and constraints you provide it. If you liked the Goal Seek lesson, then this Solver lesson is going to knock your socks off.
Lesson 08 - Sparklines
There's nothing more exciting than learning how to master a useful and eye-catching feature in Excel. In this lesson, you'll explore in detail how to create all three types of Sparklines, as well as formatting options for each. By the end of the lesson, you'll have the skills to create dashboard-like mini charts sure to make you the envy of your office. If you enjoy creating charts, you'll really enjoy this lesson.
Lesson 09 - Macros
This topic is a student favorite. In this lesson, you'll find out how to use macros to turn boring, repetitive, time-consuming tasks into automated Excel functions. Tired of doing the same formatting on the same report month after month? Here's your chance to see how to record a macro that performs that time-consuming task in seconds with just one swift click of a button! How will you spend all the extra time that this lesson will save you?
Lesson 10 - Introduction to Functions
If you've used Excel for a while, you know there are hundreds of functions at your disposal. You'll spend the last three lessons of this course going over exactly how and why you'd use them. The lesson will begin by going through a quick overview of all the categories of functions and the different methods you can use to create them. Then, later in the lesson, you'll ease into creating various functions using some from the Text category.
Lesson 11 - Math/Trig Functions
In addition to learning how to create macros, most students want to learn as much as they can about Excel functions. In this lesson, you'll dig a little deeper into using some of the slightly more complex functions in the Math & Trig category. Specifically, you'll look at two popular choices, the SUMIF and COUNTIF functions, and discuss how to use one of the more complex functions, SUMIFS. If one of your objectives in taking this course is to learn more about functions, you're in for a treat!
Lesson 12 - VLOOKUP, INDEX, and MATCH Functions
Since functions are such an important and integral part of using Excel, you'll spend the final lesson going over a few more of them. You'll learn how to use the extremely popular VLOOKUP function. If you're already accustomed to using VLOOKUP, don't feel short-changed, because this lesson will add to the complexity. You'll also use the INDEX and MATCH functions to do something just short of amazing. This is another lesson you won't want to miss!

Advanced Microsoft Excel 2019
Course Objectives
Master Excel 2019 and become a more productive member of your organization.
Gain indispensable skills that will be useful in any organization that relies on numbers-based reporting.
Learn to use the power of Microsoft Excel 2019 to save time, money and frustration.
Develop skills that can be used to simplify your life of calculating and displaying numbers both personally and professionally.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 01 - Customizing Excel
To kick things off, your first lesson explores different ways you can modify Excel to streamline processes and make your work easier. You will use the Excel Options dialog box to customize some of Excel's behind-the-scenes behavior and set up your Quick Access Toolbar.
Lesson 02 - Table Management
This lesson explores Excel's table management features, using data forms with Excel databases, and alternative database techniques. You'll be glad to know that formatting and working with tables has become much easier in this latest version of Excel.
Lesson 03 - Data Validation
In this lesson, you will tackle data validation techniques-your first line of defense against incorrect or missing data and the logical next step after data forms. You will practice using whole number, decimal, date, time, list, and other forms of validation.
Lesson 04 - Custom Controls
This lesson will introduce you to custom controls-graphical objects that help facilitate data input and are sure to impress users. You will learn how to create standard and drop-down list boxes, check boxes, option buttons, and group boxes.
Lesson 05 - Conditional Formatting
This lesson will teach you how to use conditional formatting. You will learn how to use conditional formatting to hide errors, to highlight records based on multiple criteria, to track and alert you about due dates, to find the differences between two lists, to shade every other row, and more.
Lesson 06 - Consolidating and Outlining
In this lesson, you will learn how to use Excel's consolidation function to efficiently summarize data from multiple sources. Many Excel users do this the hard way, but with Excel's automatic consolidation feature, you will no longer need to develop a web of formula links to multiple sources.
Lesson 07 - Excel Functions and Nesting
Excel's functions are too numerous to cover in just one lesson, so this lesson focuses on a few important ones spanning four categories: Logical, Database, Math & Trig, and Lookup & Reference.
Lesson 08 - Import External Data
This lesson focuses on importing external data. You will learn how to use the built-in Query Editor using Excel's powerful Power Query tool and import external database that combines two database tables into a single import.
Lesson 09 - Data Tables
Data tables are very powerful what-if analysis tools that are great for analyzing potential outcomes of personal or business financial decisions. In this lesson, you will learn how to use two different types of data tables.
Lesson 10 - What-If Analysis Tools
This lesson explores three more of Excel's what-if analysis tools: Goal Seek, Scenario Manager, and Solver.
Lesson 11 - Advanced PivotTables
In this lesson, you will discover how to use PivotTables, which are excellent for summarizing massive amounts of data and viewing different cuts of the information quickly. There are two methods for creating PivotTables, and you will practice using both.
Lesson 12 - Analysis ToolPak, Advanced Filter, Array Formulas, and More!
Your final lesson with a look at the functions available in the Analysis ToolPak, including Moving Average and Sampling tools. You will learn how to use the View Side by Side tool and how to use the Watch Window to keep tabs on your data when you're updating a workbook.

This lesson will help you make sense of all your email messages without forcing you to scroll through a long list of messages. You'll learn how to display, sort, and organize email messages. Since email is the most popular way to communicate with people anywhere globally, learning how to read and organize email in Outlook could be the feature you'll use most often.
Lesson 03 - Finding and Grouping Messages
Receiving email is always fun, but finding ways to search through all your email messages to find what you need can spell the difference between using email as a powerful communication tool or getting lost in the daily flood of email messages. In this lesson, you'll learn how to search, tag, and select email messages and move them to a folder. You will also explore strategies for labeling and organizing email messages.
Lesson 04 - Creating Email Messages
By receiving email messages and responding to them or simply writing new email messages all your own, you can turn your email account into a two-way communication medium to reach out to people anywhere around the world.

Lesson 05 - Formatting Email Messages
In this lesson, you'll learn how to format text in your email messages to make your messages more appealing and readable. Formatting text doesn't just mean improving cosmetic appearances but can also mean displaying text in an organized fashion, so it's easier to read. You will identify ways to improve email messages through the use of different fonts, colors, and styles, as well as the use of spelling and grammar checks. You'll also learn how to use bulleted and numbered lists to ensure your emails are easy to read and understand.
Lesson 06 - Editing Email Messages

You can share a spreadsheet for others to edit, send someone an interesting PDF file to read, or give someone a short video of yourself wishing him a happy birthday. In this lesson, you'll learn how to add files such as word processor documents, spreadsheets, databases, or presentations along with video and audio files to your email messages. You'll also learn how to add images to email messages and edit these using word wrapping and other methods.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to deal with both wanted and unwanted email messages so you can focus your time on having fun and being productive. You'll learn how to delete and retrieve email messages, as well as how to archive them. Most of your email messages will likely be those you want to receive, but too many of them can make it difficult to find what you need, so you will also learn the benefits of creating rules for sorting emails so you can deal with junk email messages easier.
Lesson 09 - Storing Contact Information
Outlook offers a way to store names and contact information in a database. Not only can this database grow as large as necessary, but no matter how big it gets, Outlook still makes it easy for you to search and find the information you need quickly and accurately.

Become a Physical Therapy Aide
Course Objectives
Learn about the workings of the human body, various disorders, patient safety, and even how to speak the language of physical therapy.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - Introduction to Physical Therapy
In this first lesson, you'll be introduced to the profession of physical therapy (PT). You'll learn about the history of PT and how two wars and an epidemic created a need for this profession. To help you understand what makes PTs different from other health care professionals, this course will discuss the types of patients who need PT and the types of treatment PTs use. You'll understand the important difference between PTs, PT assistants, and PT aides as you come to understand the special role of PT aides.
Lesson 2 - Communication for the Physical Therapy Aide
As a PT aide, you'll communicate with many different people, so this lesson will focus on the communication skills you'll need to help you communicate with your supervising PT, patients, and their families. You'll learn about some of the challenges you'll face when communicating with sick or injured people, and how to demonstrate the traits of empathy, respect, and patience. You'll also spend some time on SOAP notes-the method many medical personnel use to document their evaluations and patient treatments.
Lesson 3 - Ethics and Law for the PT Aide
This very important lesson will help you stay out of trouble by discussing the law and ethics for the PT aide. You'll learn the differences between law and ethics and why you must be concerned about both. You'll go over the American Physical Therapy Association's Code of Ethics, relating its principles to PT aides. You'll also learn about the American Hospital Association's A Patient's Bill of Rights so you'll know how you should treat patients in different situations. You'll want to understand both negligence and malpractice, so this lesson covers those topics, too. Finally, you'll spend some time on the very important topic of patient confidentiality. You can face stiff penalties if you violate patient confidentiality, so you need to have a thorough understanding of this topic.
Lesson 4 - The Language of Physical Therapy
Have you ever noticed that every profession has its own unique language? The health care profession is no different. As a PT aide, it's vitally important that you understand the language that PTs use, which is the focus of this lesson. You'll cover planes of the body and directional terms. You'll also learn the terms that define the body's major regions and body cavities. The movements of joints have special names; this lesson will define them and include lots of graphics that demonstrate these movements. You'll finish up by learning some other terms related to function and movement in the last chapter.
Lesson 5 - Anatomy and Physiology: Part 1
In this lesson, you'll begin learning about the body's organ systems. You'll go over how your body is organized, from atoms to an entire individual. You'll learn about the muscular, skeletal, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, and lymphatic systems. You'll also learn about the organs in each of these systems, the jobs they perform, and disorders affecting these systems that are commonly treated by PTs.
Lesson 6 - Anatomy and Physiology: Part 2
You'll continue learning about the organ systems in this lesson. To start out, you'll learn about how human organ systems are interrelated and how a problem with one system will affect the others. You'll then move on to a discussion of the integumentary (skin), digestive, urinary, respiratory, and reproductive systems. Just like in Lesson 5, you'll learn about each system's organs, function, and some common disorders. You'll finish the lesson with a discussion of the most important concept in human physiology-homeostasis. Homeostasis means the drive of your body to keep many different variables, like blood pressure and temperature, within a certain range. You'll find out why this is so crucial and how you might be asked to monitor homeostasis while caring for patients.
Lesson 7 - Safety for the Physical Therapy Aide: Part 1
You'll start learning about specific safety issues in this lesson, focusing on infection control. Anyone working in healthcare must understand the meaning of infection, its causes, and how it spreads. To help you understand this, this lesson discusses the chain of infection and what you can do to break that chain so that the infection doesn't spread from one person to another. You'll spend some time on an infection called MRSA because it's so common and dangerous. Since proper hand hygiene is the most effective way to stop infection from spreading, you'll go over the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's guidelines. You'll also learn about patient-care equipment, environmental control, and the role of vaccinations.
Lesson 8 - Safety for the Physical Therapy Aide: Part 2
You'll explore important safety issues again in this lesson, but this time, instead of infection, you'll focus on proper body mechanics and safe patient transfers. Body mechanics means the posture of your body and how you move it. You must understand proper body mechanics to protect yourself from injury. The lesson starts out with a discussion of the anatomy of the spine since the spine gets hurt most often when you ignore proper body mechanics. It talks about proper posture and the importance of paying attention to your center of gravity. It also goes over a list of principles for using proper body mechanics and guidelines for moving patients in a variety of different situations. You'll also learn about lifting machines, which PTs now commonly use to transfer patients.
Lesson 9 - Helping Patients Walk
Most people take walking for granted, but many patients must learn to walk again after an illness or injury. PTs often ask their aides to help with this, so you must understand what types of conditions make it hard for people to walk. You should also understand the normal gait cycle, so this lesson will spend some time on that topic and tell you about common deviations from normal gait. You'll also learn about different ambulatory devices, including parallel bars, walkers, crutches, and canes and how they're used in PT.
Lesson 10 - Using Physical Agents
PTs use physical agents, rather than medications or surgery, to treat patients. These agents include heat, cold, ultrasound, traction, and electricity. To explain these agents, you'll start by learning about the relationship between a disease or injury and one's ability to perform activities of daily living. You'll then follow a fictitious Mrs. Smith as she struggles to recover from a car accident. You'll learn about the physical agents her PT chooses and how they affect her body. You'll end by learning about contraindications (when an agent should never be used) and precautions (when an agent must be used with extra care).
Lesson 11 - Use of Exercise: Part 1
Along with physical agents, PTs use exercise to treat patients. In this lesson, you'll learn about three types of exercise-strength training, aerobic exercise, and range-of-motion exercise. You'll learn how muscles are put together and why resistance is necessary to build strength. This lesson will teach you about three important principles you should know when supervising a strength training program. You'll also go over aerobic exercise and learn how it increases a person's ability to use oxygen. Finally, you'll learn about range-of-motion exercises. You'll find out how PTs measure how far a patient can move a joint and why joints sometimes become limited in their motion. You'll learn about different types of range-of-motion exercises and important principles to follow.
Lesson 12 - Use of Exercise: Part 2
In the final lesson, you'll explore balance, coordination, and developmental delays. This lesson focuses on children, but the information will be helpful if you're treating adults, too. You'll learn about a special sensory system called the vestibular system and how important it is for maintaining balance. You'll view examples of activities PTs use to treat children with balance problems, and learn about the adaptive response-something PTs continually look for when treating children. The lesson will move on to a discussion of developmental coordination disorder, and you'll learn how important it is for professionals to properly diagnose this condition. Moving onto the subject of developmental delays, you'll learn about developmental milestones and how PTs treat children who fail to meet those milestones. You'll also see how PTs use developmental activities with adults who have sustained traumatic brain injuries.

Explore a Career as an Administrative Medical Assistant
Course Objectives
Explore the job of an administrative medical assistant (AMA) in a doctor's office, from appointment scheduling and chart creation to medical billing and coding, to give you an inside-view of the job.
Outline of Instruction
The Medical Office and Administrative Medical Assistant
Look at the exciting job opportunities for AMAs, the variety of careers they can choose from and the different settings where they can work
Ethics, the Law and HIPAA
The law and medicine go hand in hand, so this lesson teaches you the laws that you need to know if you become an AMA. The lesson covers everything from contracts to malpractice and also delves into HIPAA (a federal law that affects everyone in the health care field).
Computers and Office Equipment
Explore the office equipment and computer hardware that you're likely to use as an AMA. In addition, you delve into software, both standard office programs and the specialized software used in the field of medical information management.
Filing Processes and Equipment
Discover what the rainbow of colored stickers on a medical file means, and even practice creating a patient chart yourself. Find out why medical offices love lateral files, and master the tricky rules of alphabetizing. (Yes, it's more challenging than it looks!)
Records Management
Now that you're an expert on the outside of a patient chart, it's time to look inside. Find out which forms go in a medical record and just where to put each one. Learn about two styles of note-taking: SOAP and CHEDDAR. Finally, delve into the topic of medical record audits, and find out the legal way to correct a patient's chart
Appointment Scheduling, Check-In and Check-Out
It's time to introduce the star of the show: the patient. Learn everything about a patient encounter. This lesson focuses on the phone skills you can use to make appointments, handle questions and soothe angry callers. Next, flip open the appointment book and explore the tricks for scheduling patients easily and efficiently. Finally, follow a patient's visit from start to finish, and see how many tasks an AMA does during that appointment
Reception Area Tasks and Communication Skills
This lesson starts in the waiting room, where you learn more about the tasks a receptionist handles, from opening and closing a medical office to keeping the reception area shipshape. After that, understand barriers to communicating effectively with patients, and discover ways to overcome them. The lesson concludes with the fun and creative jobs that AMAs do: creating informational brochures and teaching aids.
Medical Insurance Basics
Learn the meaning of terms like managed care, capitation and fee-for-service. Explore government programs like Medicare, Medicaid, Workers' Compensation and TRICARE. By the time you're done, you will have a good feel for the many types of insurance an AMA handles every day.
The Medical Insurance Claim Form
Have you ever studied an insurance claim form? If so, you know it contains dozens of mysterious questions and checkboxes. Review one of these claim forms and learn how to conquer it. By the end of the lesson, you will know how to fill in each field of the CMS-1500 claim form. In fact, you even get to try it yourself!
Diagnostic Coding
Medical coding is a hot field for AMAs, so it's a great specialty if you're looking for job security. Take a quick look at diagnostic coding and see why it's both fun and challenging. Explore the ICD-10-CM, talk about the detective work involved in abstracting a diagnostic statement and explore the steps of coding a diagnosis.
Procedural Coding
Finish up your tour of medical coding with an overview of procedural coding. Learn all about a manual called the CPT, and discover how to use it to code everything from surgeries to X-rays to acupuncture. Examine a second manual called the HCPCS ("hix-pix"), which contains codes for ambulances, root canals and much more. Delve into anesthesia coding, a tricky but rewarding sub-specialty.
The Business Office
The final lesson includes a visit to the business office and focuses on how AMAs keep track of the money coming in and going out. Learn about inventory control and supply ordering, two crucial jobs that help keep a medical office running smoothly. Explore payroll management and investigate several jobs that fall under the umbrella of human resources.

Introduction to Microsoft Access 2016
Course Objectives
Build, edit and maintain databases in Microsoft Access 2016 using tables, reports, forms and queries to give you fast access to all your important information
Outline of Instruction
Getting to Know Access 2016
Find out what Access is and how individuals, businesses and organizations use it to store information
Begin to build an Access database, including all the components that turn a list of records into reports, forms and queries
Start by opening the application and creating a new database
Controlling Your Access Table Fields
Impose rules that automatically fill an Access table field with a preset value or that automatically insert the symbols commonly included in phone numbers
Set up rules that allow only certain kinds of data in certain fields
With just a few minutes of work, you can make data entry simpler, clearer and practically error-free.
Creating Tables and Relationships
Create additional tables for the class database, customize them along the way and then build relationships between them
This all paves the way for later database features, such as reports, queries and forms that draw from multiple tables in the database
Building Powerful Forms
Use forms for data entry and for viewing records in your tables
Meet the Form Wizard, which makes form building fast and easy and allows you to select one or more tables' fields to include
Determine the form layout
Adding Versatility to Forms
Add buttons and controls to forms
Adjust table relationships to support the creation of multi-table forms, which paves the way to creating queries and reports that draw data from more than one table
Interviewing Your Database
Using queries to sort, filter and search your database is one of the most important skills to master in this course.
Create queries that search for specific data
Customize how Access displays that data
Follow instructions step by step so you gain confidence with the process, and then create a query on your own.
Taking Queries to the Next Level
A query that puts specific records in order or finds all the records that have a general piece of information in common is pretty common. Being able to create that kind of query is a great foundation skill, but it won't help you find a very specific record. Nor will it let you search for records within a span of dates or other numeric values. It also won't help you exclude certain records, reducing a large pool of data to just those records you need to see.
Create queries that give you true power to search your database
Multi-Table Query Control
Learn to plan, build and use queries that pull data from multiple tables simultaneously. This gives you more power over your data and allows you to build the foundation for truly customized reports.
Reporting on Your Tables
Reports are easy to create and customize. Build a simple report using the Report Wizard.
Change the report's appearance using layout view and design view
These skills are foundational to creating and designing reports for any data in your database.
Creating Query-Based Reports
Create reports that are based on the results of queries you create to sort and filter your database
Because queries can combine data from multiple tables, filter for specific data and sort the results, your report reflects just the data that meet the query's criteria.
Mastering Report Design
Plan and create a completely customized report using a specialized query that controls which data the report includes
Add fields that perform calculations on your data
Customize your report's layout using design view's many tools for controlling the structure and appearance of your data.
Automating Your Database With Macros
Building macros (short programs that perform a series of steps) helps you speed up and create consistency in your more repetitive Access tasks. From opening a form to running a report to building a new record in a table, macros eliminate redundant procedures by turning them into something you can do with one click.

Introduction to Microsoft Word 2016
Course Objectives
Learn how to add and edit text, move words from one part of your document to another, work on two or more documents simultaneously and format your text
Explore dozens of ways to modify the appearance and content of your documents by adjusting page margins, paragraph tab settings and line spacing to create great-looking documents quickly and easily
Outline of Instruction
Getting Started
Learn how to use the different parts of Word 2016's user interface, how to look at your document from different types of views, how to zoom in and out to magnify or shrink your text and how to change the margins of individual paragraphs
Typing and Navigation
The whole purpose of Word is to let you create and edit text. Learn the basics of moving the insertion point and deleting text. By knowing the pros and cons of navigating through a document with the keyboard and mouse, you can use both to help you work faster in Word.
File Management
Learn how to save the documents you create in Word and how to rename, copy and even delete any files you have created, so you will always be in complete control of all the files you create
Editing Text
After you've typed some text in a Word document, you may need to edit that text. The easiest way to edit text is to delete it, but a more sophisticated way to edit text is to copy text and paste a duplicate of that text in another location.
Working With Multiple Documents
Most people use Word to view and edit a single document at a time, but Word actually lets you open and view two or more documents at the same time. Learn how to open, switch between and view multiple documents.
Text Formatting and Alignment
Once you know how to add, delete, copy and move text, the next step to modifying your document is to change the physical appearance of your text. You can make text appear in different colors or background highlighting, change text size and alignment and even modify fonts.
Printing
Most people use Word to print letters and reports. Learn about the different ways you can print a document, such as portrait orientation or landscape orientation. With Word's ability to print on different types of paper sizes and orientation, you can create more than just typical documents.
Margins, Tabs and Page Numbering
By knowing how to set and use margins, you can modify an entire document or just a single page. By using tabs, you can modify how individual paragraphs look on a page. Finally, learn how to add page numbers to the top or bottom of a page to keep track of page order.
Paragraph Formatting
Word provides ways to change the appearance of a paragraph's first line, line spacing within a paragraph and line spacing between paragraphs. In addition, Word lets you create bulleted and numbered lists, so you can display short bits of information in a visual manner.
Language Tools
For important documents, you may even need to collaborate with others. To keep track of all the changes multiple authors may make to a single document, Word offers a Track Changes feature, so you can see exactly who changed what in the document.
Customizing Word
With Word, you can press different types of keystrokes or search and click the symbol you want to use. This lets you add practically any type of unusual character to your documents. Word lets you type practically anything you want, regardless of the limitation of the keys on your keyboard.
Making a Word Document Pretty and Organized
Use outlines to organize your text and quickly move chunks of text within a document just by rearranging an outline heading. By learning these advanced features of Word, you can make each document display text in the most appealing way possible.

Introduction to CSS and XHTML
Course Objectives
Learn how to add professional polish to your design with borders, rounded corners and drop shadows
Study the secrets of embedding YouTube videos on your pages so you don't have to upload video files to your own site
Learn about all the modern file formats and HTML5 tags for embedding sound and music into your pages without using YouTube or any other site
Outline of Instruction
Learn whom this class is for and what it's all about. Start by creating a folder and adjusting some settings in your operating system and editor so you're ready to start creating a website. Discuss the basics of HTML5 and CSS3, as well as why you'll want to learn to use them. Learn to save time by creating an HTML5 page template that you can use as the starting point for each new page you create in this course and later on your own.
Discover how CSS lets you create design elements that give your site a consistent look, feel and unique identity. And, if you ever decide to change something in your styling, you don't have to go digging through all the pages individually to make changes. You just change your style sheet in one place, and all the pages in the site update instantly and automatically.
Background colors, photos, textures, patterns and gradients can really add some pizzazz to your website. Learn to do them all, and you'll have a lot of fun doing so.
Learn how to add some real professional polish to your design with borders, rounded corners and drop shadows. They're easy to do, thanks to some simple CSS properties.
Learn about the many ways you can style your text with CSS, including fonts, text shadows and more. Get an overview of the primary tags for text markup in HTML. Then, look at the many properties CSS offers for making your text look great.
Pictures add a lot of visual interest to any website. Get an overview of the types of pictures you can use, and review how to insert them using HTML tags. Then, discuss ways you can float, position and size pictures using CSS.
Learn about style classes and links. Style classes are a great tool for defining styles that you can use freely wherever you want throughout your site. They can be a real boon to your creativity and a real time-saver for managing your styles. Then, learn about pseudo-classes, which are a special type of class for styling links and mouse-over effects. And as an added bonus, learn some advanced techniques for links, including opening pages in a new window, using jump links within a page, adding tooltips to your links, using pictures as links and creating email links.
Nothing brings a site to life better than sound and video. Learn all the newest and most modern techniques for playing sounds and showing videos on your site, including the secrets of embedding YouTube videos on your pages so you don't have to upload video files yourself. And learn about modern file formats and HTML5 tags for embedding sound and music into your pages without using YouTube or any other site.
HTML tables are the perfect tool for displaying information in rows and columns. Learn techniques for styling tables with traditional CSS, as well as new CSS3 techniques that really make tables shine with minimal coding.
Getting control of the size and location of things and the gaps between them can be a real challenge for web designers. Most of the mystery and frustration that designers experience stems from not understanding the CSS Box Model, which defines how things behave and provides a rich set of tools for managing widths, heights, margins and padding. Learn how to solve the mysteries and overcome the frustrations by exposing the secrets of the ever-important CSS Box Model.
Modern business websites often use page layouts that include a header, footer, sidebar columns and a navigation bar. Historically, these layouts were done using HTML tables or div tags. Learn a new set of layout tags in HTML5 to define our layout sections, how to make them work in new and older browsers alike and some professional-grade techniques for styling them with CSS.
Learn how to add side columns to your layout, be it a left column, a right column or both left and right columns. As an added bonus, add a vertical navigation bar to a side column with links large enough that they're easy to work with a mouse, as well as a fingertip or stylus on a mobile touch screen.

Certificate in Healing Environments for Body, Mind and Spirit
Course Objectives
Learners will gain insight into the impact of evidence-based design, nature, technology and sustainability on individual and community health and learn methods to create healing environments.
Outline of Instruction
The Power of Design: Healthy Buildings, Healthy Communities
Today's health care leaders face myriad challenges in providing safe, effective, high-quality care for patients while creating a work environment that supports the health and well-being of staff. The design of their facilities plays a critical role in these two vital aspects of care.
Creating Healing Relationships
A healing relationship involves two major elements: a relationship with the self (intrapersonal relationship) and relationships with others (interpersonal relationships). Each is critical to creating a healing environment for an organization's staff and clients. Healing relationships support the social, spiritual, psychological, physical and behavioral components of people and the organization. These relationships stimulate the healing abilities inherent in patients/clients, employees and families. Optimal healing environments support and enhance the intentions, health behaviors, treatments and buildings of all who share the space.
Color and Health: Exploring the Connection
The use of color in healing has a long history. A fundamental aspect of environmental design, color has also been linked to physical, psychological and social reactions in all of its uses. Color's characteristics can influence how it is used in healing and what effects it might produce.
Light, Health and Healing
Light has been a part of all life since the beginning of time. It plays a critical role in the health and well-being of every living thing on the planet. As humans have evolved, they have often moved away from the natural light of their ancestors and have increasingly been exposed to artificial forms of light. The effects on their health have been profound. As we increasingly focus on improving the design of health care environments, it is only natural to examine the role of light in those environments.
Sound and Art: Using the Ears and Eyes to Heal
Music and art have tremendous healing powers. Creative expression offers patients and staff the ability to heal on multiple levels. Understanding of the intricate relationship between stress and the health of our body, mind and spirit continues to grow, and we have discovered that healing therapies that incorporate art and music can actually change a person's physiology. They connect individuals and communities as well.
Nature and Healing: The Power of Connection
Walking barefoot on the grass, listening to the ocean or the rush of a river, hearing the sounds of baby birds chirping in the spring, smelling the desert after a summer thunderstorm or watching the silence of a winter snowfall. These sensory experiences can help us feel peaceful, awestruck, humbled, exhilarated and connected to the grander world beyond ourselves. The use of natural elements to heal or to support well-being is as old as human history, but it fell out of favor in the health care profession for many decades. Now, the realization of the power of nature to heal is undergoing a tremendous resurgence and is providing additional therapies and tools for health care providers to help support the well-being and healing among patients, clients, staff and community members.
The Air You Breathe: How Air Quality Affects Health and Well-Being
The quality of the air we breathe is essential to our overall well-being. Contaminants in our external air, as well as the air we breathe in our homes and workplaces, play an important role in many diseases. In high enough concentrations, these contaminants can be fatal. Creating optimal healing environments requires close attention to air quality, temperature, humidity and odors.
How Safe Is Your Water?
According to the World Health Organization, access to safe water is essential to health and a basic human right. Yet globally, unsafe water causes millions of deaths from diarrhea, malaria, malnutrition and drowning. The United States has one of the safest water supplies in the world, but national statistics do not tell individuals about the quality and safety of the water coming out of their own taps. In addition, more reports are surfacing about contaminants in the U.S. water supply. Health care professionals play an important role in preventing waterborne illness and in educating the public about potential health risks related to exposure to microbial and chemical contaminants in drinking water.
Rewired Brains: Technology and Health
Technology is an important and beneficial part of modern life. It can save us time, help us work more efficiently and effectively and support personal and global changes. Yet, many individuals never fully disconnect from their technological devices, and social, physical, emotional and spiritual difficulties can occur as a result. Called "technostress," this condition is often related to multitasking and can lead to loneliness, frustration, anxiety and depression. There are many ways to manage technostress and learn to use technology wisely.

Intermediate Microsoft Word 2016
Course Objectives
Learn how to create an index, build a list of figures, design a table of contents, do desktop publishing, perform a mail merge and use timesaving shortcuts
Outline of Instruction
Shortcuts and Time-Savers in Word 2016
Learn shortcuts in Word that can help you create documents faster and more accurately than ever before. Not only will these shortcuts save you time, but they'll help you create letters and reports more easily than you might have thought possible.
Text and Paragraph Formatting Methods
Learn a fast and easy way to format chunks of text quickly and consistently using something called styles. Discover what a style is, how to apply it and how to create and save your own styles to use in any document. By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to make any document look presentable with just the click of your mouse.
Templates
A template stores the formatting of a document so that you can apply it to another document. Templates let you format entire documents as easily as formatting a single word. Word offers lots of convenient templates stored right on your computer or available over the internet, and you also learn how to create your own.
Graphics: Part 1
Learn how to add your own digital photographs to a document so that you can show everyone your vacation pictures, family holidays or just interesting sights you've captured on camera. In addition to adding your own photos, you can also add clip art from Word's massive library of free graphics. Find out how to resize, rotate and style your pictures, as well as wrap your document text around them.
Graphics: Part 2, and Columns
Digital photographs and clip art are just the beginning of what you can do with graphics in Word. Discover how to add a variety of informational graphics, including charts, graphs and WordArt, which allow you to display text as a graphic image. Also learn how to edit them when your data changes. Find out how Word allows you to format documents with multiple columns – a handy skill for creating newsletters and publications.
Sections and Notes
Do you often create long documents? Learn how to divide a large document into parts called sections, which allows you to format part of a document a certain way without that formatting affecting the rest of your text. For example, you may want headers and footers to appear on some pages but not others. Also learn how to insert footnotes and endnotes in a document, such as a research paper or other academic content.
Tables
Just like rows and columns in a spreadsheet let you organize numbers and text, tables do the same thing in Word. Learn how to create tables of all different sizes right in a document, as well as how to modify tables. You can even enter formulas to perform calculations in your tables, sort them and style them for a customized look.
Envelopes and Odd-Size Pages
You probably print most of your documents on standard letter-size paper. While this is great for ordinary letters or business reports, sometimes you may want to get creative with your paper sizes. But then there's the trouble of printing. See how you can define the dimensions of the paper you're using, so Word will print everything correctly. Learn how to print names and addresses directly on envelopes of any size.
Desktop Publishing: Part 1
Word can do more than write letters; it also functions as a simple desktop publishing program for creating greeting cards, calendars or newsletters. Find out how text boxes are the key to simple desktop publishing and see how other elements come into play in customized documents. Look at business cards and greeting cards to get a feel for how desktop publishing works. If you've always wanted to create a document that combines text and graphics in an artistic or visually appealing way, you'll find out how to do that and much more.
Desktop Publishing: Part 2
With the basics down, it's time to take your desktop publishing skills to the next level. Discover the magic of linked text boxes that give you the power to move your text anywhere you want on the page and keep it flowing. Learn how to create, position, resize and group text boxes so you have total control over your text.
Merging Data with Documents
Learn how to store long lists of names and addresses that you can use over and over again in a form letter. Just create a document once, leave blanks for inserting information such as names and addresses, and let Word personalize each letter for you.
Final Touches
Look in most books, and you'll find the table of contents at the beginning and an index in the back. Often, these are the last components added to a document, since they need to have accurate titles and page numbers. But Word takes a lot of the tedious work out of creating these components. Discover how you can use styles to make creating the table of contents a snap, and then explore how to tag index terms so Word knows what page they're on, even if they move later. Word can also help you keep track of any figures, such as charts, illustrations or graphs, in your document. By letting Word worry about the details, you can create an accurate table of contents, index or list of figures with very little extra effort.

Introduction to Microsoft Project 2019/Office 365
Course Objectives
Know how to use Microsoft Project
Gain transferable skills
Learn how to enhance your project in the areas of efficiency and security
Outline of Instruction
Overview of Microsoft Project
Microsoft Project can help you manage your project's schedule, costs and scope in a way that you've never dreamed of. Learn the basics of Microsoft Project, including a summary of the Gantt Chart view and ways to create and enter project tasks.
Creating a Solid Foundation
Create a project schedule, enter tasks in project's Gantt Chart view and set a schedule by using a calendar and assigning lead times. Then, create task dependencies, sometimes known as links. As you perform these activities, you become comfortable using Project's many dialog boxes.
Creating and Managing Resources
While tasks create the backbone of your project, you also need people, equipment and materials to bring your project to life. Find out how to apply two types of Project resources (work resources and material resources) and about two more dialog boxes (Resource Information and Assign Resources). Learn how to analyze resources by using the Resource Sheet and Resource Usage views.
Defining and Assigning Costs
No matter what project you work on, the bottom line is always important. So, get ready to add the final piece to your basic project schedule: costs. Review a brief overview of cost accounting, exploring fixed, variable, relevant and accrued costs. Learn how to assign costs by using the Resource Sheet. Discover how to assign different costs for the same resource and analyze the overall costs for your project by using the Cost Table.
Project Templates, Security and Constraints
Successful project managers are known for their efficiency and for safeguarding private information. Microsoft Project provides two excellent methods to help you in these areas: project templates and project security. Find out how to use some of the many templates Project has to offer, including the Residential Construction template and the New Product template. Learn how to protect your project information with backups, passwords and write protection. Discover how to put Project's task constraints to good use.
Working With Views and Managing Information
Discover how easy it is to modify your basic schedules and work with project data. Look at the various Project views, such as the Calendar, Leveling Gantt and the Network Diagram. If you don't like the default colors or fonts in your schedule or table, you can make changes. Learn how and why you might want to create a combination view, add notes to your project, or sort, filter and group data.
Fine-Tuning Your Project Plan
Many projects experience schedule compression when management or clients ask that the project be completed sooner and for less. Discover how to improve your schedule's performance. Explore the Project Statistics dialog box, and learn how to determine the ideal starting point in terms of planned costs and completion dates. See how to change task dependencies to speed up your project, and find out how to split tasks to add more lead time. Learn how to create recurring tasks and attach notes to your project's taskbars.
Baselines and Tracking
Before you implement your project, you need to create a baseline to track actual results against what you originally set out to accomplish. Microsoft Project makes it possible to set up a baseline with a few mouse clicks. Learn how to do that and then see a variety of ways, including using the Tracking toolbar, to record your actual project results.
Managing Variances
Learn how to compare actual results to your baseline by using the Gantt Chart and reviewing a table. Discover how useful status identifiers and progress lines can be to quickly gain information about your project's position. Use the Tracking Gantt and filters to automatically identify slipping tasks. Learn the basics of variance analysis by discussing the Start and Finish Date, Resources and Work Variance Tables.
Closing Your Project
No project is complete until it's officially closed. Find out how to close your project and use the Organizer to help you customize and copy views for future projects.
Printing Views
Now that you're using reports to share project information, you will occasionally need to print various views and tables. Delve into printing Microsoft Project documents, using the Page Setup dialog box to create different views of your project, and the Print Preview and Print dialog boxes.
Using and Creating Reports
Once your project gets rolling, outsiders will probably want to know how things are going. Microsoft Project offers the perfect solution: Reports. Examine a representative sample of the standard reports, as well as discuss how to modify and create new reports. Learn how to create visual reports as Project automatically exports data to Microsoft Excel and Visio.

Registered Behavior Technician Training and Practice Competency Assessment (Voucher Included)
With the support of a BCBA instructor, you learn the steps required to administer behavioral intervention plans, record and prepare data for the behavior analyst and follow ethical decision-making and protocol, as described by the board. You learn the common functions of behavior, using motivators and reinforcers, conducting preference assessments, protocols for crisis prevention and reducing or increasing target behaviors by following a behavior intervention plan – all critical components needed for RBT competency assessment practice.

You will transition to the Practice Initial Competency Assessment, which will allow you to apply skills you learned in your training and ensure you're confident and ready to complete the assessment with your supervisor at your place of employment. The Practice Competency Assessment mimics the components required for your official Initial Competency Assessment, set forth by the BACB.
This RBT course includes a voucher that can be used for the BACB RBT certification exam only when all BACB RBT application requirements are met. This course does not include any application fees, background checks or completion of the Initial Competency Assessment.

Spanish for Medical Professionals
Course Objectives
Gain the knowledge and enhanced Spanish language skills to bridge the communication gap and better assist Spanish-speaking patients
Outline of Instruction
Speaking, Spelling and Counting in Spanish
Discover how easy it is to spell and pronounce words en español and learn how to count from 0 to 19.
Words for Talking About People
La familia is central to Latin American life, and family members play a key role in a patient's medical care as well. Learn the Spanish words for those family members, and pick up some handy phrases for conversing with patients and their families. Also learn about pronouns and explore the role of gender in Spanish.
Colors, Directional Words and Numbers From 20 to 199
Power up your Spanish vocabulary by learning the words for colors and directions. In addition, find out how to count all the way to 199 and learn six handy prepositions to beef up your sentence-building power.
Easy Verbs
As a medical professional, you're always in action, so you'll want lots of action words in your Spanish repertoire! To help you master those verbs effortlessly, learn a super-simple conjugation system that uses only three tenses (present, easy past and easy future). In addition, look at two interesting verbs that mean "to be" – ser and estar.
Words for Describing the Body and Medical Conditions
Start zeroing in on the medical Spanish you need to know by taking a look at the parts of the body and learning the words for everything from teeth to toes. After that, peek inside the body and study the internal organs. Finally, delve into the Spanish vocabulary for common medical conditions.
At the Doctor's Office
This lesson covers pregnancy, labor and delivery. Then, move on to pediatrics and explore words related to young patients. For adult patients, look at words for discussing cancer symptoms, tests and treatments and explore ways to assess the mental status of a patient. Also, look at Spanish words for various diets, and discover the little word "hay" and find out why it packs a powerful punch.
Emergency!
In an emergency, every second counts, and this lesson's vocabulary words can help you respond quickly in medical crises involving Spanish-speaking patients. In addition, learn words for describing medical tests, treatments and procedures, so you can inform and reassure patients receiving care in the emergency room. Finally, look at terms you can use to talk with patients and their families about medications.
The Examining Room
Most patients have routine symptoms and ailments, so add words to your vocabulary for discussing these common medical problems. In addition, look at words for instructing patients during a medical exam and then finish the lesson by expanding your toolkit of Spanish words with some new adjectives.
On the Patient Care Floor
Visit the patient-care floors and learn words for everything from bedpans to pillows to call buttons. Discover lots of words for talking about time and find out how to explain visiting hours to your Spanish-speaking patients. Finally, explore words for feelings – something that will help you soothe patients when they're sad and celebrate with them when they're happy.
Admitting and Discharge
Patients are constantly coming and going, so it's a good idea to know Spanish words for admitting and discharging them. Learn a set of verbs that will help you talk with patients when they're arriving or leaving. In addition, look at words for talking about insurance and payments.
Words for Talking About Pregnancy and Pediatric Care
Start with a look at the youngest patients who visit a doctor's office or hospital: the ones who aren't even born yet. After learning about pregnancy, labor and delivery, move on to pediatrics and explore words for making young patients and their parents feel informed and comfortable. As a bonus, learn words that can get you out of a bind if you don't understand what a Spanish-speaking patient is saying.
Vocabulary for Assisting Adult Patients
Finish your journey through the ages and stages of life by learning about adult patients. Learn words for discussing cancer symptoms, tests and treatments, and explore ways to assess the mental status of a patient en español. In addition, learn Spanish words for all those diets your patients love so much: low-salt, low-fat, low-cholesterol and more.
