ELECTRONIC
PRESENTATION AND WEB BASED TECHNOLOGIES (BASIC)
CG-3PCX
(AUX-04)
PURPOSE:
Provide introductory to intermediate training in electronic presentation
and web based technologies. The course is neither designed nor
appropriate for advanced or professional users. Students will
learn about the application of Internet and multimedia technologies for
Auxiliary activities including communication services, member training,
public education, and public affairs. The classroom based training
involves the use of computers and the development of two projects; one
multimedia presentation and one web site. These will be utilized
when the student returns to their local units.
Attendees will advance their skills in
multimedia presentation from the level of beginner to advanced user.
Using the software web development software, students will create a presentation
specific for their office with the intent to deliver the training at an
Auxiliary Unit level following completion of the course. Students will
learn how to organize a presentation, connect relevant hardware,
incorporate graphics, link to relevant online resources, and save
the presentation for transportation between computers and delivery to
the end user.
The course will also provide beginner and
intermediate level training in Internet Technologies specifically World
Wide Web Publishing. Attendees will develop Auxiliary Unit level web
pages into a web site architecture developed from a purpose statement
and content plan. Intended as a new web site or a re-development of an
existing Unit web site, the course will provide the foundation for
further development following the course. Instruction will also be
provided on Internet security, local computer upgrades, and involvement
of other staff officers in the development of content for the unit web
site.
In addition students will learn how to apply
appropriate media/tools/applications for Coast Guard and USCG Auxiliary
training/education/maritime domain awareness and how to support the
Coast Guard's role in homeland security. Attendees will learn to
how to effectively lead discussion groups over the Web/Internet.
Graduates of this course will be able to
create powerful interactive courseware, design websites, regularly
update computer security features, and conduct PC-based audio and
video teleconferences. Attendees will be expected to deliver this
training at a local unit level following completion of the course.
