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.

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!

Along the way, you'll learn how to customize your preferences, create a new document and open an existing one, and save your work.
Lesson 2 - Photoshop Basics
In this lesson, you'll learn how to open and close multiple files, as well as view and navigate an image. Then you'll explore a variety of ways you can crop and fill an image-getting to experiment with Adobe's impressive artificial intelligence (AI) tool, Generative Expand! You'll also discover the crucial difference between Save and Save As and choose just the right file format in which to save your work. Finally, you'll learn how to safely exit Photoshop.
Lesson 3 - Understanding Resolution and Size
Do you know the difference between resolution and size and how they relate with pixel dimensions? By the end of this lesson, you definitely will! You'll learn all about resolution, resizing, and resampling. You'll discover the difference between screen resolution and print resolution and how the purpose of your graphics plays a role in which one you choose. And you'll be able to change the canvas size for your images.
Lesson 4 - Understanding Layers
In this lesson, you'll explore the wonders of working with layers. You'll find out what makes them so incredibly useful, discover the many types of layers you can work with, and get to know the Layers panel.

You'll also discover how to set and use guides to help place and align your objects.
Lesson 6 - Transforming Objects
In this lesson, you'll continue working with layers but take them to the next level! You'll work with multilayer documents and practice different methods of image placement. Then, to better fit these objects into the scene, you'll learn about aligning, scaling, rotating, distorting, warping, and more.
Lesson 7 - Image Adjustments
Want to make the color of your images pop? Then you need to know about image adjustments. Before you go wild, though, you also need to understand the crucial difference between destructive and nondestructive editing. In this lesson, you'll learn how to adjust brightness and contrast, levels and exposure, and which methods of making these adjustments are nondestructive and destructive. The adjustment effects are kind of like what image filters do on a smartphone-but with much more control.

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.

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

Advanced Grant Proposal Writing
Course Objectives
Discover the quickest and most efficient ways to gather the information you'll need to develop your proposal's attachments, including information on your organization's structure, administration, and finances.
Gain a full understanding of the criteria funders use to determine whether your grant proposal gets funded or rejected.
Discover a number of significant finishing touches that can give your project the edge over others. You'll know the best type of paper to use, which buzzwords to include, which fonts work best, which types of graphics to include, and a variety of formatting techniques that will make your proposal more competitive.
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. This lesson is important because you'll discover who reviews your proposals at each type of funder, what format the proposal review staff expect to receive, and how and why decisions to fund or reject grant proposals are made.
Lesson 2 - Match Funders With Projects
This lesson will teach you how to carefully research the funding agencies so you can match your grant funding needs to their interests. You'll learn how to find and use Internet research sites to identify multiple funders for grant proposal projects. And you'll learn how to spot the funder/project matches that result in a 90 percent or higher funding success rate.
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
This lesson will teach you how to develop a current programs and activities section narrative template. You'll also learn where to find the type of information a grant reviewer needs in this section of your grant proposal. And you'll learn how to stay on your toes to answer all of the questions that funders ask when they read this section of your grant proposals
Lesson 5 - Write the Target Population Served Section
In this lesson, you will learn how to write accurate and magnetizing copy for the target population served section of your grant proposals. You'll also learn how to conduct extensive research on your target population and how to order, organize, and write the information for this critical section of your grant proposals.
Lesson 6 - Write the Partnerships Section
This lesson will teach you how to find the most current information on your organization's partners in the community, region, and nation. You'll also learn how to identify potential partners when your organization has few or no partners. Most importantly, you'll learn how to organize and present your partnership information in an appealing format for funders.
Lesson 7 - Write the Needs Statement Section
In this lesson, you'll learn how to understand the needs statement section from the funder's viewpoint. You'll also learn the type of information to collect on the target population and your organization in order to glean language for this 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. From learning where to find the information needed to write an award-winning evaluation plan to learning the common terms that funders look for in this section, Lesson 10 hits the target
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.

Secrets to Better Photography

Learn how to choose the best photographic equipment for you and how to compose images with style.
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. You'll see how to pose people so they'll look their best, when to use digital editing, and how various lighting techniques will help you create pleasing 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.
Lesson 12 - Digital Options
Digital editing is a real bonus for photographers. In this lesson, you'll learn about the basic and artistic editing techniques available to all photographers, as well as some of the technical issues of digital photography.

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.

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!

Mastering Digital Photography: Photographing People
Course Objectives
Discover the best way to shoot faces, fix common close-up problems, and use digital photo editing techniques to retouch your photos and make other improvements.
Learn how to organize people, which angles to use, and which to avoid.
Learn several fun and creative ways to photograph children and babies.
Outline of Instruction
Wednesday - Lesson 01
Photographing people is one of the most exciting and complicated kinds of photography. Yet, with just a few skills, you'll soon be taking better pictures of people. In this lesson, we'll begin by exploring digital photography equipment and talk about how to set up an inexpensive home studio.
Friday - Lesson 02
In this lesson, you'll learn about exposure and the pivotal role it plays in photography. The lesson will talk about the three camera controls that affect exposure, and you'll find out how to use these controls to achieve the desired effect in your photographs.
Wednesday - Lesson 03
In this lesson, you'll learn about light. Every photo is made from the effects of light on your digital camera's sensor, so the importance of understanding and using light has an enormous impact on your photos. You'll find out how to make the most of indoor and outdoor light and how to use some tactics to give you better shots. Then, we'll explore some difficult lighting situations and how to overcome those problems in order to take great people photos.
Friday - Lesson 04
In this lesson, you'll learn how to compose a photo. Photo composition involves not only the primary subject and secondary objects, but also the general look and overall feeling of a photo. You'll find out how to tackle common composition problems, use the rule of thirds, put tactics to work in order to shoot sharp photos, and use depth of field to your advantage.
Wednesday - Lesson 05
People photographers spend most of their time taking portraits of individuals and groups, but posing and arranging these shots can be difficult. In this lesson, you'll learn how to solve common problems with portraits and how to arrange and shoot portrait and group photos that give you a true representation of the individual or group.
Friday - Lesson 06
In this lesson, you'll learn how to take photos of faces, hands, and people with their pets. You'll discover how to manage composition, posing, and angles, and how to capture meaningful photos that communicate to the viewer. You'll also learn how to handle lighting with pets and how to keep their attention as you photograph them.
Wednesday - Lesson 07
In this lesson, you'll learn how to take photos of babies and children. You'll discover some practical tips that will help you shoot those intimate, personal photos. We'll explore techniques for taking photos of children in motion, discuss how to pose kids, and consider specific issues related to photographing babies and newborns.
Friday - Lesson 08
Have you ever tried to get some good sports photos, only to be disappointed with the results? Maybe the image was blurry or the gym lighting made your photos have a yellow tint. Sports photography is often rather difficult, but this lesson will help you learn tools and tricks so you can capture great sports images. 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. In this lesson, we'll tackle this difficult subject and explore how to manage posing, lighting, and composition. We'll also explore how to manage distractions, problems, and even how to take great photos of inanimate objects, such as the wedding cake!
Wednesday - Lesson 11
In this lesson, you'll find out how to make the most of image editing software and your people photos. Even good photos sometimes need a bit of editing work to make them great, and in this lesson, we'll focus on editing techniques specific to photos of people. You'll see how to adjust composition, exposure, and how to fix common problems, such as facial blemishes.
Friday - Lesson 12
After you master your people photography skills, you may want to begin a business. In this final lesson, we'll explore the business of photography. You'll find out how to manage clients, the services you'll offer, and you'll learn about photography contracts - a vital part of your business. You'll even be able to download a contract and customize it to meet your business needs.

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.

Become a Veterinary Assistant III: Practical Skills
Course Objectives
Gain a throughout understanding of examination room procedures, including disinfecting, prepping, and taking a patient's TPR (temperature, pulse, and respiration).
Study how to safely restrain an animal for blood tests, urine collection, and injections.
Learn how to obtain blood samples, which needles to use for which patient, where the best anatomical sites for collecting blood are located, and how to catheterize a bladder.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - Basic Dog Restraints
You'll begin this course by learning about one of the basic duties of veterinary assistants-how to safely and securely hold animals. Proper restraint techniques are the keys to ensuring that you and the person performing a procedure are safe. In addition to learning those techniques, you'll find out how to assess a patient's body language, how to remove a dog from a cage, and how to use different equipment to control a patient.
Lesson 2 - Basic Restraint Techniques
You focused on dogs in the last lesson. In this lesson, you'll change the focus to cats. Their body language cues differ from a dog's, so how you handle them will change, too. You'll learn the "stretch," the "scruff," and the "kitty burrito" restraint techniques. Then, you'll examine how to restrain rabbits, birds, and other exotics.
Lesson 3 - Exams, Pilling, and Nails
Now it's time to learn how to put your new restraint skills to work. Nearly every day, a veterinary assistant will be asked to help restrain an animal for any number of reasons: blood collection, injections, and routine examinations to name a few. Other times, you'll have to conduct a physical exam, give medication, or trim nails. In this lesson, I'll provide you with videos as well as detailed, step-by-step instructions to help prepare you for these duties.
Lesson 4 - Blood Collection
A blood tests is a vital way for veterinarians to determine what's wrong with a patient. So taking blood samples and having a working knowledge of an animal's circulatory system is key for a veterinary assistant. After a review of the circulatory system, we'll look at the most common sites for taking blood-jugular, cephalic, and saphenous veins. Then, we'll take a look at the equipment you'll be using (needles, syringes, and blood collection tubes).
Lesson 5 - Blood Tests
Now that you have a blood sample, what can you do with it? In this lesson, we'll focus on the tests you might help to perform and explore how veterinarians diagnose diseases. Though there are thousands of diseases, a few important ones are anemia, diabetes, kidney disease, and liver failure. You'll quickly learn the difference between white blood cells and chemistries and how to do a PCV and blood smear.
Lesson 6 - Urine Tests
All fluids tell a story. In this lesson, we'll look at urine and how to take samples. You could just put a bowl under a dog, of course, but there other methods that will help ensure that the sample remains uncontaminated. And just like when we talked about blood, we'll also look at the tests that you might help to perform on urine, and go over what duties you'll be responsible for.
Lesson 7 - Surgeries
In this lesson, we'll move into the surgical suite. Although the veterinarian will do the surgery itself, she won't be able to do it alone. You may be asked to clip and scrub a patient for surgery. Other responsibilities could include preparing surgical packs, knowing the names of the surgical instruments, and cleaning and sterilizing those instruments properly. You'll also have a front row seat to a life-saving surgery that I performed on a little dog.
Lesson 8 - Hygiene 101
While it's not the most glamorous of tasks, keeping anal sacs clear and anal glands healthy is a big part of basic health care for companion animals. I'll explain how to identify an impacted sac and show you two techniques you can use to remedy this condition. We'll also examine how to clean ears, administer medication, and provide a bath-all common responsibilities that you may be assigned as a veterinary assistant.
Lesson 9 - Gender, Age, and Dosage Calculations
Suppose someone brings you a little kitten and wants to know if it's a boy or a girl. Can you do it? In this lesson, we'll look at how to identify the gender of kittens, puppies, and bunnies, as well as how to tell their age. Knowing the age of a patient is important when figuring out how much medication to give. So I've also included a segment on how to calculate doses of medication to help you figure out what and how much to give your patient.
Lesson 10 - Exam Room Skills (TPR)
Now we'll move into the exam room. Yes, assistants have to know how to set up the room, but they can also play an important role in preparing the patients before the veterinarian sees them. In this lesson you'll learn about TPR-temperature, pulse, and respiration. We'll also discuss how to take a patient history, what to look for while performing the TPR, and how to identify dehydration.
Lesson 11 - Radiology and Medical Terminology
Do you know metatarsals from metacarpals? How about ventral from dorsal? In this lesson, I'll give you a crash course in medial terminology and how to use it when taking radiographs. We'll also talk about how to read x-rays and go over why bones look white and lungs look dark. You'll discover how to train a dog so you can take a hip x-ray without sedation.
Lesson 12 - Injections, Vaccines, and Worms
In this last lesson, we'll take a closer look at how to give injections (including vaccines) and how to diagnose one of the most common ailments that afflicts cats and dogs: worms. We'll discuss collection techniques, proper equipment, what to look for in a sample, and how to identify different types of worms. Finally, we'll wrap up with some of the more memorable cases I've dealt with during my years as a veterinarian. Maybe they'll inspire you to become a veterinarian yourself!

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.

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!

Introduction Microsoft Word 2019
Course Objectives
Gain the confidence needed to make the most of this indispensable software application.
Learn how to make the perfect layout for useful documents of any occasion - resumes, invitations, letters, articles, training materials, and much more.
Save time and avoid frustration by familiarizing yourself with the wide variety of tools at your disposal in Word 2019.
Become more proficient with one of the most widely used software programs in history.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 01 - Getting Started
In this introductory lesson, you'll learn how to use the different parts of Word 2019's user interface, how to look at your document in 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.
Lesson 02 - Typing and Navigation
The whole purpose of Word is to let you create and edit text, so in this lesson, you'll go over the basics of moving the Insertion Pointer, or Cursor, and deleting text. Pressing the BACKSPACE and DELETE keys can delete text one character at a time. The keyboard lets you move the cursor one character, one word, or one line at a time. The mouse lets you quickly move the cursor and scroll through large documents far faster than the keyboard. 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.
Lesson 03 - File Management
In this lesson, you're going to learn how to save the documents you create in Word. You'll learn how to save documents with unique names, as well as in other formats so that you can share your documents with people using different word processors or even different computers. Finally, you'll learn how to rename, copy, and even delete any files you've created so that you'll always be in complete control of all the files you create.
Lesson 04 - Editing Text
After you've typed some text in a Word document, you may need to edit that text. The easiest way to edit is to delete individual characters using the BACKSPACE or DELETE keys. Another option is using Word's Overtype mode by typing over text you no longer need. If you ever delete anything by mistake, don't panic! Word's handy Undo and Redo commands retrieve unintentionally deleted text. You may also want to delete large chunks of text. Use your keyboard or mouse in tandem with the BACKSPACE or DELETE keys to efficiently remove entire sections of text. By learning how to delete text and undo mistakes, you can edit your documents quickly using Word.
Lesson 05 - 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. This can be handy for copying text from one document to another, comparing two different drafts of the same document, or simply using one document as a reference while writing in the second one. By learning how to open, switch between, and view multiple documents, you can increase your productivity with Word.
Lesson 06 - 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 the actual size of text, alter the alignment of text, and even choose different fonts to modify the way individual letters look. As you can see, Word provides plenty of ways to help you both edit text and change it so it looks visually appealing.
Lesson 07 - Printing
Most people use Word to print letters and reports. But Word also helps you get creative by letting you choose different paper sizes and orientations. For example, you can print a letter in portrait orientation or print a sign in landscape orientation. Just think of turning a page up so its height is taller than its width (portrait orientation) or turning the page on its side so its width is wider than its height (landscape orientation). Word also lets you choose to print on different paper sizes, such as envelopes, just as long as you can run those odd-shaped paper sheets in your printer. With Word's ability to print on different types of paper sizes and orientation, you can create more than just typical documents using Word.
Lesson 08 - Margins, Tabs, and Page Numbering
Most of the time when you create a document, you can use the default page settings. But sometimes you may want to modify those settings to change margins around a page to give you more (or less) space on the top, bottom, left, or right sides of a page. 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, you'll also learn how to add page numbers to the top or bottom of a page to keep track of the right page order when you print out your document.
Lesson 09 - Paragraph Formatting
Word can be handy for typing and formatting text, but once you've written several paragraphs worth of text, you may need to format individual paragraphs separately from the rest of your document. 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 bullet and numbered lists, so you can display short bits of information in a visual manner. With Word's various paragraph-formatting options, you can customize the appearance of all your paragraphs.
Lesson 10 - Language Tools
It's not enough just to write and format your text. After you're done writing, you may need to check your spelling, change your words, and even hyphenate your text to make your entire document look the best it can. 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 what and who changed the document. With so many ways to polish your document, there's no reason not to write exactly what you want to say with Word.
Lesson 11 - Customizing Word
Word can easily handle any characters you type with a keyboard, but sometimes you may need to type an occasional foreign language character, a mathematical symbol, or another unusual character that doesn't appear on your keyboard. 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, even smiley faces. You probably won't need to type all of these characters regularly, so just find the ones you'll likely need and remember how to use them. Word lets you type practically anything you want, regardless of the limitation of the keys on your keyboard.
Lesson 12 - Making a Word Document Pretty and Organized
Writing involves more than just typing and editing text. With Word's advanced features, you can insert page breaks and cover pages to adjust how your text appears when you print it out. To make text on each page look its best, you can use drop caps and styles. Finally, you can 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 Microsoft Access 2019
Course Objectives
Be able to build and customize Access databases.
Gain more understanding of existing Access databases.
Gain knowledge to take a stronger role in the database maintenance.
Design professional-looking forms and reports.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 01 - Getting to Know Access 2019
In this lesson, you'll find out what Access is and how individuals, businesses, and organizations use it to store information. You'll begin to build an Access database, including all the components that turn a list of records into reports, forms, and queries. You'll start by opening the application and creating a new database.
Lesson 02 - Controlling Your Access Table Fields
It's time to lay down the law! In this lesson, you'll impose rules that automatically fill an Access table field with a preset value or that automatically insert the symbols commonly included in phone numbers. You'll also set up rules that require 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-frees.
Lesson 03 - Creating Tables and Relationships
You'll 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.
Lesson 04 - Building Powerful Forms
In this lesson, you'll use forms for data entry and for viewing records in your tables. You'll meet the Form Wizard, which makes form building fast and easy and which allows you to select one or more tables' fields to include. You'll also learn how to change the form layout.
Lesson 05 - Adding Versatility to Forms
In this lesson, you'll add buttons and controls to forms. You'll also 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.
Lesson 06 - Interviewing Your Database
Using queries to sort, filter, and search your database is one of the most important skills you'll master in this course. In this lesson, you'll create queries that search for specific data. You'll also customize how Access displays that data. By following the instructions step by step, you'll first become familiar with the process, and then you'll get to create a query on your own!
Lesson 07 - 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, well, 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. In this lesson, you'll create queries that give you true power to search your database.
Lesson 08 - Multi-Table Query Control
In this lesson, you'll learn to plan, build, and use queries that pull data from more than one table at a time. This gives you more power over your data and allows you to build a great foundation for truly customized reports.
Lesson 09 - Reporting on Your Tables
Reports are easy to create and to customize. In this lesson, you'll build a simple report using the Report Wizard. Then you'll change the report's appearance, using layout view and design view. These skills provide the foundation to create and design any report you may need on any data in your database.
Lesson 10 - Creating Query-Based Reports
In this lesson, you'll 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. This makes truly customized reporting possible-and quite simple.
Lesson 11 - Mastering Report Design
In this lesson, you'll plan and create a completely customized report, using a specialized query that controls which data the report includes. You'll add fields that perform calculations on your data. You'll customize your report's layout, too, using design view's many tools for controlling the structure and appearance of your data.
Lesson 12 - 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 Outlook 2019
Course Objectives
Harness the full power of Outlook 2019 so you can be more productive.
Learn to better communicate and keep track of all your responsibilities.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 01 - Getting Started with Outlook 2019
In this lesson, you'll get acquainted with Outlook. You'll go over the basics of what Outlook can do and how you can use it to save time and keep yourself organized. You'll also get familiar with Outlook's user interface to help you feel comfortable using the program. After you finish this lesson, you'll be ready to start using Outlook and switching between its different functions (Mail, Calendar, People, and Tasks).
Lesson 02 - Reading Email Messages
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. In this lesson, you'll learn different ways to create and reply to messages. You will also identify ways to edit and send email messages.
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
This lesson is all about polishing your text, so everything is correct. After all, your words may be powerful, but if there are typos or grammatical mistakes, your email message can look less valid and legitimate. In this lesson, you'll learn different ways to proofread and edit email messages. You'll explore the search and replace feature, learn how to create hyperlinks for email and website addresses, learn how to use the signature feature, and explore different styles for your email messages.
Lesson 07 - Sending Attachments to Email Messages
Sending email messages with file attachments lets you communicate with others using more than just what you can type. 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.
Lesson 08 - Dealing with Wanted and Unwanted Email
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. In this lesson, you'll learn all about using Outlook to store contact information of the people most important to you for business and personal use. You'll learn how to create and keep contacts, sharing and search contacts, and group and sort contacts.
Lesson 10 - Using the Outlook Calendar
Everyone needs to meet people or be at a certain place at a specific time. For busier people, your scheduled appointments may become so numerous and varied that keeping track of your time can be cumbersome. In this lesson, you'll learn all about using Outlook's calendar feature to create and store appointments. You'll identify the different ways to view and use the calendar. You'll also explore setting and viewing appointments, as well as managing, editing, and sharing these appointments.
Lesson 11 - Creating Task Lists
In this lesson, you'll learn all about using Outlook to create tasks that can help you stay focused on achieving the goals you want to achieve. Outlook makes it easy to create and store your list of tasks that you can view whenever you use Outlook. In this lesson, you'll learn how to create a task list, tag and add details to a task, and manage your tasks. Outlook's task list is just one more tool to help you keep your life organized and focused.
Lesson 12 - Taking Notes and Customizing Outlook
Once you learn how to use Outlook's note-taking feature, you can learn different keystroke shortcuts and how to customize Outlook further to serve your particular needs better. In this lesson, you'll identify ways to create and modify notes. You'll also identify keystroke shortcuts and how to use these. Along with this, you'll learn different ways to customize Outlook's user interface and change Outlook's settings. You'll also have a chance to reflect on Outlook's various features you find most valuable and then decide how you plan to customize Outlook to make it easier for you.

Introduction to Interior Design
Course Objectives
Learn to design a room from floor to ceiling.
Discover how to choose harmonious colors.
Learn to use scale as you use architectural plans to design your spaces.
Learn to adapt spaces to accommodate those with specific disabilities.
Become familiar with textiles, materials and lighting available.
Learn to create beautiful interiors for yourself or for clients.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - The Vast World of Interior Design
This first lesson will open your eyes to all the career possibilities available to you in the world of interior design, and particularly in the realm you'll be focusing on: residential design. You'll explore the wide range of opportunities and challenges you'll encounter as you design these spaces, whether you're creating a comfortable family room or outfitting a sleek urban penthouse. Then you'll take a look at the other side of design, the commercial sphere, where interior designers create everything from exclusive boutique hotels to Madison Avenue retail storefronts. This lesson also explains the differences between interior design and interior decoration so that you can choose the discipline that suits you best. By the end of this lesson, you'll be familiar with many types of careers you probably never knew existed. With this introduction, you'll be on your way to becoming part of the design community.
Lesson 2 - Tools of the Trade
Lesson 2 will introduce you to the specialized drawing tools interior designers use to help them create and present their designs. Then you'll explore some fundamental concepts-the elements of design-that will serve as the building blocks of all the compositions you create. Finally, you'll review the principles of design-guidelines for combining these elements into beautiful compositions. If you already feel confident in your abilities to design, this lesson will give you a checklist to make sure your designs work visually. If you're a bit nervous or insecure about creating your designs, these skills will provide a safety net to assure that your designs are harmonious and beautiful.
Lesson 3 - You Gotta Have Style
This lesson takes you on a journey throughout the past and present, and prepares you for your future designs as you explore a plethora of design styles. You'll begin in the Renaissance in Italy and move throughout Europe, from England to Germany, and learn about the progression of interior spaces into the modern age. You'll then discover the latest trends of today and see which styles are the most popular in cutting-edge homes. Finally, you'll go around the world and look at how the unique cultures around the world can help you create unique styles that you can incorporate into homes today.
Lesson 4 - Colors of the World
This lesson will cover one of the most popular topics of interior design-color! You'll start off by briefly exploring the science behind color and why people see the way they do. Then you'll learn about a tool to help you start building harmonious color palettes. Next, you'll take a look at some of the surprising things that can happen when you put the wrong colors together. By knowing about these unexpected optical illusions, you'll be able to prevent mistakes in your own designs. Finally, you'll learn about the various cultural associations people have with color and discover how you can influence the mood of others through the colors you select for your designs.
Lesson 5 - Plans, Elevations, and Details-Oh My!
As an interior designer, you can let your imagination run wild-but how can you make sure that the ideas in your head materialize in the space you're designing? That's where architectural drawings come in. They communicate the designer's vision to the clients, the contractors, the architect, and others. In this lesson, you'll get an overview of the kinds of drawings that interior designers use throughout the design process. You'll learn to identify and read various types of technical drawings, including floor plans, elevations, sections, and details. Then you'll explore drawings in three-dimensions while learning about axonometric, one-point, and two-point perspective presentation drawings.
Lesson 6 - Plan That Space!
Sharpen those pencils because this lesson is going to get down to the nitty-gritty of design. You'll use feet and inches as you look at the guidelines and standard measurements that are the industry-wide rules of thumb when planning spaces. Before you can think three-dimensionally, you've got to start with a simple piece of paper and an architect's scale and make sure that you can get all the necessities to fit within a space-where they're comfortable without being tight and spacious without feeling empty.
Lesson 7 - Living in a Material World
So, your space is all laid out. But your clients won't be living in a graph paper world! In this lesson, you'll explore the various types of materials that you can use to achieve beautiful interiors. You'll look into a wide range of finishes, which include natural materials (including stone and wood), synthetic materials (tile, laminate, and resilient flooring to name a few), and carpet. By the end of this lesson, you'll have the knowledge to start transforming your pencil-and-paper notions into a full-color, textural space!
Lesson 8 - The Fabrics of Our Lives
As an interior designer, you'll spend a lot of time dealing with textiles. Fabrics, after all, cover the interior world-from bedding to window treatments to upholstery. In this lesson, you'll get an introduction to the various types of fibers available, as well as their various strengths and weaknesses, so that you can make the best selection for each application. After mastering the various types of textile goods, you'll take a closer look at where you'll be using these fabrics, starting with the various styles of bedding and pillows. You'll finish up the lesson with windows-or, more precisely, window treatments-and get some pointers on how to successfully design draperies that will beautifully frame the transition between your stunning interior design and nature's beauty of the outdoors.
Lesson 9 - Lights, Camera, Action!
Light is one of the most important elements, but also one of the trickiest ones to get right in an interior space. This lesson will explain the psychology behind good lighting design and help you create the right effect in your space while making it visually interesting without becoming overwhelming or flat and dull. You'll also become familiar with the various types of light fixtures available to use in your designs and learn how to select from the many types of artificial light sources available on the market today.
Lesson 10 - Design for All
With the implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, barriers were literally removed, allowing a previously excluded population access to spaces meant for everyone. In this lesson, you'll explore how to incorporate some of the requirements of this act into the home, creating spaces that allow retirees to age gracefully in their homes. And for users with more specific disabilities, you'll learn how to adapt their spaces to allow them to maintain their independence through your design choices.
Lesson 11 - It's Not Easy Being Green
Increasingly, people in the world are becoming aware that humanity has limited resources at its disposal. Many in the interior design industry are pioneering new ways of designing that look at the life cycle of a product and consider the environmental implications. In this lesson, you'll learn about green design, which is the art of creating beautiful spaces that are efficient in their use of energy and natural resources. You'll learn about various types of green certification so that you aren't mislead by false claims and explore specific things you'll want to consider when dealing with certain types of products.
Lesson 12 - Taking Care of Business
In this lesson, the course culminates with practical advice on how to set up and run your own interior design business. You'll get some suggestions on how to set up your studio by determining the legal business structure, advice on how to look the part, and practical recommendations for outfitting your space. Then, you'll move on to the fine art of getting and serving clients, including suggestions on marketing yourself and setting your pricing structure so you can make money doing what you love. Finally, you'll receive some advice as you navigate the construction process with your contractors, clients, and vendors.
