@ONE Web Site Offers Enhanced Training Options
The newly redesigned @ONE Web site at http://one.fhda.edu offers technology training and resources for California Community College faculty, technical staff, support staff, instructional designers and trainers, and administrators. The @ONE project team has redesigned the Web site to focus on technology training resources to assist faculty and staff with their own learning .
Training Center
Using the @ONE Web site, both faculty and staff can link to online courses, self-paced tutorials, and workshops to help improve skills. Training topics are organized in two tracks.
"Technology Tools" emphasizes software and hardware training and includes Web browsers, e-mail, word processing, and presentation software. “Teaching Strategies" emphasizes effective practices in the instructional use of technology, and includes instructional design, web site design, course management, simulations, etc.
@ONE Services
@ONE Training Packages are being put online for faculty and trainers to download as they become available. The focus of @ONE’s training packages is the effective use of technology in teaching . Current training packages include:
- Creating an Instructional Web Site
- Using Email to Support Instruction
- Simulations for Teaching & Learning
- Discovering Multimedia
- Internet Research to Support Instruction
Orientation to @ONE Training Packages
These are free sessions to help trainers and other faculty development professionals adapt @ONE training to meet local campus needs. Information about the content, the schedule and locations for Spring 2000 are located on the Web site in under @ONE Services.

Community Resources
Through the @ONE Web site, the CCC constituencies mentioned above, plus administrators, can find great resources to help enhance their use of technology:
- Books on instructional technology are divided into books on technology tools and books on teaching strategies.
- Conferences on technology;
- Related Web Sites of interest to faculty, staff and administrators; and
- News on recent instructional technology developments - devoted to keeping community college folks informed of recent news and information regarding instructional technology. This is a way to quickly find out about current educational technology news, and subscribe to technology listserves and other technology newsletters. Bookmark this @ONE page as the starting point for instructional technology updates.
Trainer Network
The goal of the Trainer Network is to aid trainers to share ideas and resources. You can locate a technology trainer or register and add your name to our database of trainers.
New developments in the next few months will be geared to support a population of instructional designers, technologists and technology trainers at the colleges through what we hope will be a thriving Trainer Network.
Background
