STEPS Computer Workshops

What is STEPS?

STEPS (Student Technology Education ProgramS) offers free technology workshops to IPFW students. The IPFW Center for Academic Support and Advancement (CASA) and Information Technology Services, working together, offer these workshops to provide students with computer-mediated communication skills needed for college and beyond. The following workshops will be available during each fall and spring semester (Schedules can be found in the computer labs):

  • Microsoft PowerPoint - creating a presentation
  • Setting up APA & MLA papers
  • The basics of Research using the web
  • Making the most of IPFW Account: e-mail, I drive and myIPFW
  • Creating a Simple Web Page Design
  • Microsoft Word - an introduction to word processing
  • Endnote - citing references easily
  • A walk through WebCT/Vista

Structure of the Courses and Program

STEPS workshops are held in a computer lab so they are hands-on. The workshops are 50 to 90 minutes in length and provide a guide that students may keep for reference. The instructors for the workshops receive training in the applications and the use of a computer lab classroom. The curricula for the workshops are developed by CASA, or in some cases, by IU Bloomington and then edited to fit IPFW’s computing environment.

Schedules (PDF) can be found in the computer labs.

Note: Students will need to bring a disk or USB flash drive to save files.
