If at all possible, please bring some plain text content that you'd like to contribute to one of our wikis on a USB drive. You can also bring some images to include in your pages, as we'll also be exploring how to upload and reference images. <br/> If you are new to contributing to wiki's, please see these guides, which we will work through and discuss during this course: [[Getting Started Editing Wiki Pages]], and [[More_on_Working_with_Wikis]].<br /> * '''WHEN''': TBA (last session held Wed 26 September, 2012 with Lawrie Brown) <br /> * '''WHERE''': PCUG Centre, Grant Cameron Community Centre, Holder.<br /> * '''TRAINER''': TBA<br /> * '''PARTICIPANTS''': 10 places open to any PCUG member or others interested in learning more about editing wikis.<br /> * '''FEE''': $20 (PCUG members), $40 (non-members), or Free** (**''the fee will be waived for any regular PCUG volunteer who agrees to use this training to further build our information resources'')<br /> * '''BOOKINGS''': to [[mailto:training@pcug.org.au PCUG Training Bookings]] or phone the PCUG on 1800 728 853.

Basic familiarity with Windows and Microsoft Office screens helpful but not essential. No previous knowledge of spreadsheets required. Prepare to be surprised at the variety of things you can do with a spreadsheet!!<br /> Spreadsheets are very powerful, versatile and widely use software, that can make it easy to manage all sorts of problems from pre- school arithmetic to highly sophisticated financial or statistical analysis. This course will start at the simplest level looking at how to manage your spreadsheet to make it work for you like an ordinary piece of paper (but better!), and progress to finding out how to use the spreadsheet to simplify some everyday tasks like planning a holiday itinerary or working out which is the best dog food to buy.<br /> There will be six sessions of two hours with some flexible time at the end available for discussion. Class members are invited to bring forward their own projects for the group to work on together. The course prerequisite is that you should have completed the PCUG Absolute Beginners Course or attained an equivalent level of familiarity with a computer.<br /> Trainer: Roger Quarterman<br /> <br /> When:<br /> Held over 6 sessions on Wednesday mornings 10:00am to 12 noon commencing 13 July.<br /> <br /> Where:<br /> PCUG Training Room, 27 Mulley St Holder.<br /> <br /> Fee: $20 inclusive for room rent, refreshment and course documentation<br /> Places: up to 10<br /> Applications & Enquiries: Roger Quarterman quanro@pcug.org.au.<br /> <br /> Please also refer to the U3A website courses@u3acanberra.org.au for additonal information <br /> <br /> [edit<br /> <br /> == Courses for 2014 ==<br /> <br /> === Office Volunteering Information Session ===<br /> <br /> * '''When:''' Wed 8 October, 2014 1pm - 2.30pm<br /> * '''Venue:''' PCUG Centre and Training Room<br /> * '''Session Coordinator:''' Karen Adams<br /> * '''Aim:''' This is an information session to overview what is involved in Volunteering with the PCUG Office. <br/>(Full orientation will be provided for those who wish to follow-on with volunteering). <br/>We are currently looking for more volunteers to assist in this area.<br/>Attending this session is not an obligation to volunteer, but to help you determine if this volunteering is for you.<br /> * '''About:''' The information session will overview a typical office day, with reference to the types of enquiries that may come in, and how to handle them. This can include (but not limited to) payments for membership & email accounts, training course & SIG enquiries, training room hire enquiries, and technical assistance enquiries. Enquiries may be by phone, or in person.<br/>Further detail may be viewed on the [http://www.pcug.org.au/info/index.php/PCUG_Office_and_Centre_Administration PCUG Info Wiki]<br/>'''Note:''' ''Adherence to [http://www.pcug.org.au/wp PCUG's Privacy Policy] is a condition of volunteering, where dealing with private member information.''<br /> * '''Costs:''' Free<br /> * '''Participants''': Up to 20 participants due to fire-regulation room capacity of the training room.<br /> * '''Bookings & Enquiries:''' Please respond to training@pcug.org.au with expressions of interest, queries, or to book in to this session.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> === SCANNING SLIDES - Equipment Orientation ===<br /> * This is an orientation to use of scanning equipment in the PCUG media room. There is NO FEE, as it is not classed as a course.<br /> * One of the facilities that we have at the office is a media room that includes equipment for scanning 35 mm slides. So if you are one of those people who has a great collection of colour slides going back for many years (and which you seldom if ever now look at) you might like to digitise them. This is a great way to review, sort, edit and generally make your collection more accessible and <br /> meaningful. It also means that there is an opportunity to correct the fading and the change in colour <br /> balance that will have occurred with old slides. <br /> * The equipment and the software performs much better than some of the low cost scanners that are available on the market. When you have got the hang of the system you can plough through a big batch at the rate of about 1 minute per slide. There are a few little quirks to sort out, but they are easily explained. <br /> * If you are interested please email [mailto:training@pcug.org.au training@pcug.org.au] we will organise an introductory session, with a maximum of 2 participants per group (due to the size of the room), lasting approximately one hour.<br /> * Sessions have been scheduled for the following dates, with more added as necessary:<br/><br /> - Wednesday 27 August, 2014 at 2pm<br/><br /> - Monday 1 September, 2014 at 2pm<br/><br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> === EXCEL - Introduction to Spreadsheets (using Microsoft Excel 2007) ===<br /> *'''THIS COURSE IS BEING RUN IN THE EVENINGS TO ACCOMMODATE MEMBERS WHO HAVE DIFFICULTY ATTENDING DURING WORKING HOURS.<br /> *'''Course Title:''' Introduction to Spreadsheets<br><br /> *'''Description & Requirements:''' <br /> **A training course introducing participants to spreadsheets using Microsoft Excel (2007).

Enquiries may be by phone, or in person.<br/>Further detail may be viewed on the [http://www.pcug.org.au/info/index.php/PCUG_Office_and_Centre_Administration PCUG Info Wiki]<br/>'''Note:''' ''Adherence to [http://www.pcug.org.au/wp PCUG's Privacy Policy] is a condition of volunteering, where dealing with private member information.''<br /> * '''Costs:''' Free<br /> * '''Participants''': Up to 20 participants due to fire-regulation room capacity of the training room.<br /> * '''Bookings & Enquiries:''' Please respond to training@pcug.org.au with expressions of interest, queries, or to book in to this session.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> === SCANNING SLIDES - Equipment Orientation ===<br /> * This is an orientation to use of scanning equipment in the PCUG media room. There is NO FEE, as it is not classed as a course.<br /> * One of the facilities that we have at the office is a media room that includes equipment for scanning 35 mm slides. So if you are one of those people who has a great collection of colour slides going back for many years (and which you seldom if ever now look at) you might like to digitise them. This is a great way to review, sort, edit and generally make your collection more accessible and <br /> meaningful. It also means that there is an opportunity to correct the fading and the change in colour <br /> balance that will have occurred with old slides. <br /> * The equipment and the software performs much better than some of the low cost scanners that are available on the market. When you have got the hang of the system you can plough through a big batch at the rate of about 1 minute per slide. There are a few little quirks to sort out, but they are easily explained. <br /> * If you are interested please email [mailto:training@pcug.org.au training@pcug.org.au] we will organise an introductory session, with a maximum of 2 participants per group (due to the size of the room), lasting approximately one hour.<br /> * Sessions have been scheduled for the following dates, with more added as necessary:<br/><br /> - Wednesday 27 August, 2014 at 2pm<br/><br /> - Monday 1 September, 2014 at 2pm<br/><br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> === EXCEL - Introduction to Spreadsheets (using Microsoft Excel 2007) ===<br /> *'''THIS COURSE IS BEING RUN IN THE EVENINGS TO ACCOMMODATE MEMBERS WHO HAVE DIFFICULTY ATTENDING DURING WORKING HOURS.<br /> *'''Course Title:''' Introduction to Spreadsheets<br><br /> *'''Description & Requirements:''' <br /> **A training course introducing participants to spreadsheets using Microsoft Excel (2007).
