Workshops
Each semester, Lab Operations offers a selection of computing workshops. Usually, these workshops are introductory sessions on popular software titles in our labs.
If you are interested in additional learning opportunities, a free subscription to lynda.com (an extensive self-paced video tutorial resource) is available to you through lyndaCampus. Additionally, subscriptions to Element K online software courses may be purchased through the I.T. Help Desk.
The TRF Digital Production Lab support staff also hold workshops on high-end production software and file management. To sign up for a DPL workshop, see the schedule posted outside DPL1 on the 8th floor of 180 Tremont Street.
