E-Learning Courses
Are
you interested in completing one of our supervisory/management certifications?
Does travel or work location make it difficult for you to attend classes held in
UT’s Conference Center Building? Or are you just interested in a new way of
learning? In partnership with the Office of Information Technology, Employee and
Organizational Development is unveiling new and exciting e-learning classes.
Among
the courses offered are Behavioral Interviewing, Business Ethics, Effective
Business Communication, Communication Skills for Leaders, Dealing with Conflict,
Effective Listening, Law and Ethics in the Workplace, Organizational Change, and
Workplace Diversity. These e-learning
classes may be substituted for specific certification classes.
“When
we first looked at the classes, we were surprised and excited by their quality,”
says Dr. Linda Francisco, director of Employee and Organizational Development.
“Many of the classes have simulations, pre-tests, and posttests.”
Even
if you are not interested in certifications, you can take one of the 400+
courses offered in UT’s e-learning curriculum. The university contracts with
SmartForce, one of the country’s premier deliverers of e-learning classes, to
provide faculty and staff with the most up-to-date and interesting classes
available.
