Two New Online Classes Available Through UW Community Service Education


March 15, 2007 (Laramie, WY) -- University of Wyoming Outreach School, Division of Community Service Education is proud to announce two new classes to the online line-up, including Introduction to Flash 8 and Instant Italian.

These classes are both available for immediate registration for the March 21st session and will be available every month thereafter. 

Introduction to Flash 8 will teach participants how to create exciting interactive animations from a working Flash designer and author with more than a decade of experience in Flash development. Students will discover how to create animations, build online applications, manage photos, integrate video, and upload your very own Flash presentations to a Web site.

"The most exciting Web development work these days is being done with a product called Flash," claims Shane Elliott, an award-winning Flash developer and published author. "Flash allows you to build rich, immersive, highly interactive sites filled with movement and sound."

Instant Italian is a dynamic course that makes learning Italian fun and surprisingly easy. You'll learn how to ask directions, book a room, order a meal, and much more in Italian! Phonetic spellings of each word and phrase make mastering pronunciation a breeze.

The course audio even lets you hear and practice Italian with a simple click of your mouse. Cultural notes are included throughout the course to help you better understand the Italian people and their way of life. This course will prepare you to speak basic Italian in a wide variety of settings and situations, and it promises to enrich your experiences while traveling in Italy. Benissimo!

"Italian is an incredibly beautiful language," says instructor Robert Bertoldi. "Its many vowels give it a remarkable musicality that's uncommon in many other languages, and students sense it right away. It's always a pleasure to watch their enthusiasm build right from the start as they learn the correct pronunciation of words such as 'tagliatelle,' 'San Gimignano,' and 'caffè macchiato.'"

These classes are completely online and are only six weeks long with eight weeks to complete the course material.  For more information, please contact UW Noncredit Online Programs at (307) 766-5634 or abi@uwyo.edu.  Class descriptions can be found at www.ed2go.com/uwyo.
