Contents of training sessions vary based on the expertise and interests of the student assistants currently employed
as Digital Media Mentors. Attendance and interest in training sessions continues to increase, particularly for 3-D
printing workshops.
Currently rate is one workshop a semester, but that will rise when we are fully functional in the coming year.
During the Spring 2015 semester, we offered 2 sessions for embedded class support for specific assignments and 5
workshops open to the entire campus.
It is too soon to be specific about the types of training we will be offering. A new hire will be in charge of this once the
position is filled.
Mostly at the start of semesters with advanced classes following. For the new space, we will have safety workshops
with minimal equipment training that will be required before users can be certified to work independently in the space.
These workshops will be numerous, and not included in the total above, especially at the beginning of each semester.
These suggestions are in a proposal to purchase a new printer for the Norlin Commons.
We have only offered a few workshops about 3-D modeling. Two were in spring of 2014 and wer open to all
members of the university community. The third was a session held during our library’s day of seminars for faculty and
graduate students.
We plan to offer much of this as online modules, so the schedule doesn’t apply.
Yet to be determined.
