I don't know if you guys have heard about this service that our school offers called e-Training. From the name you can tell that it is about training. What kind of training? almost anything you think of with relation to technology. From personal experience, i think it is a very effective website. In addition, it is hundred percent free. You wont have to pay a dime. I have learned the c++ in there; OK, I have tried to learn it on there but I lost the interest when I started taking the actual class and some of you might know why. In the following paragraphs, few services will be displayed and discussed.
The first service to mention is the free online courses. It is easy to register; the one thing to remember is the fact that you can set the time line for whatever course you think about choosing. As mentioned earlier, I tried learning one thing and that was the beginning c++. To register for a course go to e-Training homepage and log in with your emich account user name and password. After your logged in, a search field is going to appear in the middle of the page. Type the keyword; for e.g. AJAX and choose all from the category options because you will get to see through everything the website offers. After you click on the search button, a list of the different options related to Ajax will be provided. Look for the course category and choose which ever course you desire and click on the add to my plan button to add the course. After that set up your goal and whether there is a deadline for learning the course or not and finally click the submit button to officially register the course.
the second service to mention is an access to thousands and thousands of online books. At no surprise, these books are for free. If anyone knows about books24x7, it is a website that offers a wide variety of books in different business topics such as project management and technology. EMU students gets a free access to every service available on books24x7. To log in to the website, it has to be done through e-Training web page. After your logged in to e-Training, a shortcut to books24x7 would be available in your home page and it is the last shortcut. click on it and you'll be directed though another link to the actual books24x7 website. for there, it is pretty easy to browse and check out books.
Overall, there are so many services offered by our school that we do not know about. Browsing the school homepage can unfold many helpful services.
Ahmed,
ReplyDeleteI took a look at the e-training site and found at least from the looks of it to be very useful. I will probably sign up for a beginners ajax course and see where it gets me. Thanks for the blog
I will definatelly try to used this course. It does look very usefull. The idea is that there are so many fre training services online that is hard to choose from.
ReplyDeleteAhmed,
ReplyDeleteThis is something I stumbled across a couple of years ago and was plesantly suprised. This truly is a great resource and can even come in handy while on the job. I work with systems who use what is called ITIL compliancy and noticed a couple of years ago that there is an ITIL course out there. The class is designed to help pass an ITIL certification course. Thanks for the reminder about this excellent resource.
I don't really know what is ITIL but if e-Training has a course about it, that means it's pretty well known. I kinda wish you could blog about it :P
ReplyDeleteAhmed,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this info. I was able to find a couple of Python programming books I wanted to buy. I've been able to read the info I was searching to find.
Ahmed, thanks for bringing to our attention. Is nice to have some other parallel resources to utilize while studying subject matter here at EMU. Or even just to learn new things. I look forward to taking advantage of this valuable resource.
