PCS Website Update

New Services

We will provide periodic updates about the PCS virtual community as we add new features and services.

Training Podcasts

More training podcasts focusing on practical tips are on the way:

  • Brenda Huettner will talk about "Simple Steps toward Web Site Accessibility"
  • Jean-luc Duomont will discuss "Creating Effective Presentation Slides"
  • Sandy Bartell will guide you in "Creating Styles in Microsoft Word"

If you know of a subject you'd like one of our experts to focus on in future installments of our new training podcast series, or if you'd like to offer your own expertise in crafting a podcast, let us know.

Flash-Driven Instructions on Using the Site

We have created two flash-driven instruction modules to help you better use the new PCS Site. One focuses on how to login and change your profile information. The second walks you through how to create or respond to a discussion posting.

You can find links to both on the PCS Virtual Community home page (http://www.ieeepcs.org) under Help Tips at the bottom of the right navigation column.
