August 8th Training
Session

Our first ever Orlando
training session for AccuTrack took place on August
8, 2003. The training was held in the Computer Lab of
the University of Central Florida - downtown location.
We had 10 attendees from places as far as Richmond,
Kentucky and as close as Pensacola, Florida! Each attendee
received a training manual that has the training outline
and a lot of space for jotting down notes. After having
attendees introduce themselves, we started the morning
session at about 9 AM. During this session attendees
installed their own version of AccuTrack, learned about
other installation options, discussed setting up the
software, and went through other AccuTrack procedures.
Around noon, our catering company delivered
lunch next room. During lunch attendees got to know
their colleagues and fellow AccuTrack users. The AccuTrack
staff, including Mon Nasser (AccuTrack Manager), Jayme
Stenger (AccuTrack Sales), and Dr. Mahdi Nasser (AccuTrack
Training) was available to answer questions regarding
AccuTrack, Orlando attractions, and whatever the attendees
wanted to discuss.
The afternoon session showcased more
advanced subjects such as setting up
the appointments options, the Import Wizard, Profile
Query, Exporting data to Excel, and more. At the end
of the session, we also discussed available AccuTrack
resources such as the on-line support forum and AccuTrack
support site. Training ended around 4 PM. However, we
took an additional 20 minutes to discuss some learning
center resources including the Learning Center Newsletter
and to showcase some other attendance products offered
by our company. Attendees also took some time to fill
out the training evaluation form.
We were delighted to see that all attendees,
without exception, indicated that they would recommend
the AccuTrack training to other users. The evaluations
were very positive. Here are some of the comments we
received:
"The AccuTrack training
session built my confidence and comfort operating the
system. ... I also learned ways to teach the system
to my staff! I am very glad I attended! The AccuTrack
training session was vital to my understanding of the
'finer points' of the AccuTrack system."
Sonja Bagby, State University of West
GA
"I received a wealth
of information in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.
Every member of the AccuTrack staff involved was friendly,
knowledgeable, and willing to help in any way they could."
Teresa Harbett, Eastern Kentucky University
"Overall very good training
session. That is a compliment because I am usually quite
critical because I present computer usage, software,
etc to people all the time and the AccuTrack staff did
a great job"
V. B., University of North Dakota
"AccuTrack is an excellent
tool to do demographics, surveys, and accurate assessment
measurement of tutoring programs, can be applied to
counseling services and special population programs
for grant initiatives. AccuTrack is a must for data
management success."
Janis Williams, Saint Joseph's University
"Oh... the possibilities..."
"Everyone who purchases
AccuTrack should attend a training session in order
to utilize efficiently the software maximizing what
it was made for!"
"The training was professional
in the information we received and in the use of time
but was relaxed enough to be enjoyable. Thanks."
