bullet Online Workshops and Guides

The University Parent Program has developed a series of online workshops in coordination with other University offices and experts.

Each workshop topic features presentations from speakers in three different formats—video, audio, and podcast (mp3). The presentations vary in length between 3 minutes for the shortest presentation to 38 minutes for the longest.

Parents can choose their main topic of interest, then choose specific presentations within that topic. The download pages for the workshops have instructions and advice for each of the three download formats. In general, you should begin by selecting the format that is most appropriate for your internet connection.

• Select video presentations if you have a broadband connection.
• Select audio
presentations if you use a dial-up or modem connection.
• Select the podcast presentation if you have a broadband connection and want to download an entire workshop (rather than downloading the individual presentations one at a time).

Go to a specific workshop for more information about downloading the presentations.
