MOLLI Faculty Orientation

Group and/or individual orientations will be offered for all faculty members.  The orientation will include information on the types of audio visual aids the Continuing Education Conference Center has to offer, how to utilize these aids, and how to schedule them in advance for your course. It will allow the faculty members time to ask questions and learn more about MOLLI policies and procedures to ensure everything is in order in advance of the the MOLLI courses.  Financial paperwork will be filled out at this time as well.

The Orientation will answer questions like:

• How do I project my PowerPoint Presentation on the screen?
• Can I project mt PowerPoint presentation on two screens at once?
• When will I receive my honorarium? and how?
• How do I get my room set-up in a large U shape?
• Can I show a video with sound from the internet to my students?
• And many more...

The orientations are highly recommended to ensure an understanding of how to best utilize the conference center's many high tech features as well as getting to know the building and our staff.  Group orientations will be scheduled during the two weeks prior to the term and email notifications will be sent. Those individuals unable to attend a group session will need to schedule an individual orientation at least a week before your first course with Dannette at 243.2905 or via email at dannette.fadness@umontana.edu.
