SIUC offering two Joomla! classes this spring

by Amanda Scott

CARBONDALE, Ill. -- The Division of Continuing Education at Southern Illinois University Carbondale is offering two Joomla! classes this spring for individuals interested in web management for personal or professional development.

Both courses consist of one evening of instruction and one evening of lab work each week. Rapid Website Development with Joomla! -- Beginner gives participants hands-on experience working with extensions, modules and templates in order to get a Web site up and running in a matter of hours, rather than weeks or months.

Rapid Website Development with Joomla! -- Intermediate provides more in-depth instruction than the beginner course. The intermediate class participants will install and configure a calendar system, document management system, bulletin board system, newsletter system, and customize a template.

Rapid Website Development with Joomla! -- Beginner will meet from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, Jan. 26 through Feb. 18, in Rehn Hall, Room 17. Registration is $75 and that fee includes a textbook and USB drive.

Rapid Website Development with Joomla! -- Intermediate will meet from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, April 13 through May 6, in Room 17 at Rehn Hall. Registration is $50 and includes a USB drive with Joomla!-related software.

To register, or for more information, contact the Division of Continuing Education at 618/ 536-7751 or visit the Web site at https://www.dce.siu.edu.
