ARCHIVED: What are STEPS workshops?

IT Training & Education offers award-winning STEPS workshops on more than 80 information technology topics. STEPS workshops are available on both the Indiana University Bloomington and IUPUI campuses, and are open to the IU community and the general public. STEPS are hands-on, instructor-led workshops in word processing, email, spreadsheets, databases, graphics, presentations, statistics, and browsing and publishing on the web. STEPS workshops range from introductory to advanced, and most last from 90 minutes to three hours each.

Because they are partially funded by the Student Technology Fee, these workshops are free for enrolled IU students only. However, you must present your IU student ID in order to receive free admission. IU faculty and staff members and the general public must pay a small fee to attend STEPS workshops.

Advance registration is recommended, but is not required. If any seats are available at the time of the workshop, walk-in registration will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. With advance notice, IT Training & Education can provide assistance for people with disabilities. Please use the contact information below if you have a need.

Most STEPS workshops meet in Indiana Memorial Union M088 or the Herman B Wells Library Information Commons STEPS classroom. The workshop location will be provided in your registration confirmation notice. Most workshops use exercise files that you can download for practice. Workshops also include materials you can keep.
