Currently, the NGL Centre has no available courses in Fronter for students. However, we do offer information sessions in the autumn to which all students are welcome. Teachers will provide information about the time and place. This information will also be available on Dalarna University’s website. Teachers can also request a Fronter course for individual student groups. If you are a student who would like to take a course in Fronter, please speak with your teacher, and we will try to organize a course that will benefit the student group at-large.

Students can learn more by reading our pedagogical manuals.

Connect, Level 1

We take a close look at the main functions of Connect; how the programme is constructed; how the different features work; how to make the best use of Connect; and what its limitations are. You also have the chance during the course to test out what you have learned. The course is web-based and held in a Connect room.

No pre-skills are necessary. If you want a course to be held in English, please contact the NGL Centre.

Connect, Level 2

If you have taken Connect, Level 1, then you can take this course to further your knowledge about the programme. We look at, for example, how you can change the access authority of other participants, how you can create second rooms, how you can record your meeting and then publish a link to the recording, as well as many other extra functions. After the course, you will receive so-called Host Access Authority in Connect, which means that you will receive access to all the functions that we have covered. A pre-requisite to the course is that you have completed Connect, Level 1.

The course is web-based and held in a Connect room.

At the beginning of the term, we offer hour-long courses in Adobe Connect. The course is delivered in a Connect Meeting Room, meaning you don’t need to be on campus at Dalarna University to take part. All you require is a computer with access to the Internet.

Times for these courses can be found on http://meeting.du.se.  You do not need to register your participation.

The course looks at Sympodium, how the system works, and what settings are possible. We also discuss how Sympodium can be used to improve the presentation and how Sympodium can also be used for the direct transmission of lectures. No pre-skills are necessary. The course is held in a room where Sympodium is available.

In the course, you will gain basic knowledge of Adobe Presenter and the process in developing a complete presentation from PowerPoint. We begin by going over general information about Adobe Presenter, and then we create a personal user profile that you can use in your presentation. You also learn how to include sound and video. In the course, we also look at the various installations you can create and the way in which you can work with the various pages in your presentation.

To finish, we show you how you publish your presentation and create a link to it, which you can, for example, then put in Fronter.  To take part in this course, you require good working knowledge of Microsoft PowerPoint. The course is held in a computer lab.
