How can users best prepare themselves for training on an ORACLE -based information system?
Any user who will be attending functional raining should do the following: a. Do NOT be intimidated by the idea of training — try to relax and look upon training as a tour to someplace new, where things are done differently than at home. This is important because these systems may be conceptually different from those used previously on-campus and this alone can make some people apprehensive. b. Do not try to remember everything covered in the training sessions, but do take notes on anything you feel is important. There is usually a great deal to cover in these sessions, so remembering absolutely everything is not realistic, especially when the concepts of these information systems are new to many users on-campus. c. During the course of the training, try to make mental references to the in-house system and think of how BANNER’s information relates to what you had before. d. Be sure to ask questions if necessary — if you are unsure about anything, ask the trainer to explain it again
