ExpertRating Online Microsoft Visio Course (2003- Introduction) Coverage (6 weeks program)
 

Week One

Wednesday - Lesson 01

A picture is worth a thousand words. It's a familiar saying, but how can it be made to work in today's corporate world? Microsoft Visio offers you a wide array of diagrams that you can develop to explain a concept you want to share with others. By the end of the first lesson, you'll be able to identify how you can use Visio to help in your daily life.

Friday - Lesson 02

Before building a diagram, you need to take a couple of preliminary steps. First, you need to know the different types of diagrams available to you, and you need to know how to select the right one in any situation. Second, you need to be able to identify all of the pieces that you'll include in your diagram. This lesson will walk through these preliminary steps. After that, it will dive right into building diagrams, and will go over some of the basic formatting options you'll use throughout the course.

Week Two

Wednesday - Lesson 03

One of the most basic Visio diagrams is the Block diagram. After discussing the different varieties of Block diagrams, students will create the first of many diagrams in this course. You'll learn about the benefits of applying standard formatting to your diagrams (such as using headers and footers), and you'll learn how to present your diagrams more professionally using titles, borders, and backgrounds.

Friday - Lesson 04

You've probably experienced business processes in your own job or as a customer that make you wonder how anything gets done using such an inefficient process. This lesson will take a look at how to map out a business process, how to identify the steps involved, and how to pinpoint where inefficiencies or gaps may exist. And this lesson will show you several cool Visio features that will help you bring these processes even more pop.

Week Three

Wednesday - Lesson 05-

Basic flowcharts are probably the most widely used diagrams within Visio. Once you master the elements of this type of diagram, you'll be able to bring just about any process to life. In this lesson, you'll learn why Visio is widely known as a flowcharting program, and it will discuss the versatility of these diagrams. This lesson will walk you through creating a Basic flowchart, and then it will take a step back and look at the overall diagram to analyze the information presented.

Friday - Lesson 06

There are a lot of great diagram types in Visio, but the most popular one is the Cross-Functional flowchart. It's similar to the Basic flowchart, but the Cross-Functional flowchart offers a few nifty features that make it even more powerful. In this lesson, you'll learn why it's referred to as the swim-lane diagram, and it will show you how you can take advantage of these additional options. This lesson will also show you a couple of more unique ways you can use this diagram—taking it well beyond a flowchart.

Week Four

Wednesday - Lesson 07

The project manager in all of us will love this lesson. Project management is all about organization, time management, and tracking, and Visio offers you several diagrams you can use to track this type of information. In this lesson, you'll learn how to develop a fun and functional calendar, what a Gantt chart is and why it's useful, and how to build timelines. While these all fall under the heading of Project Schedule, this lesson assures that you'll find all kinds of uses for these diagrams.

Friday - Lesson 08

This lesson will explore Directional Map and Office Layout diagrams—two things that really let your creativity flow. Why create a Directional Map diagram and not just use an online mapping service? Directional Map diagrams allow you to show not only streets but also important landmarks, providing a greater level of detail for your audience. Meanwhile, office Layout diagrams allow you to map out your physical space to determine whether all your furniture will fit where you expect it to. This can save you a ton of time (and many back problems!).

Week Five

Wednesday - Lesson 09

When you're starting a new job, one of the most difficult things you have to do is learn the names of all your colleagues and how they're related to each other within the organization. That's where a Visio Organization Chart can come in handy. Along with lots of options for formatting and adding new information, Visio has a powerful organization chart tool, and you'll learn all about it in this lesson.

Friday - Lesson 10

By this point in the course, you've created many different types of diagrams, so this lesson will switch gears for a look at some Visio features that you can apply to just about any diagram. Specifically, it will start with layers. Once you master layers, you can change the view of a complex diagram based on the need or the audience. You'll also see how to modify some diagram behaviors and learn how to add objects and comments to any project.

Week Six

Wednesday - Lesson 11

Everyone have preferences regarding how one like to use any software program, so you'll be happy to know that Visio is just as easy to customize as any other Microsoft program. This lesson will go over different ways that you can modify Visio to meet your needs, and it will help you identify a few options that you can apply to make the most of your time working with Visio.

Friday - Lesson 12

There are several slick ways you can view your diagram, and this lesson will show them to you. The information this lesson will share with you  will not only help you show your diagrams to others, but will also help you develop and modify all of your diagrams. Plus, since you'll probably want to print your diagrams at some point, this lesson will go over the basics of printing in Visio. And firmly believing in the concept of helping you to help yourself, this lesson will finish up by navigating its way to Visio's Help system—a place you can visit long after you finish this course to find the answers to any questions that come up in your work later.   Buy the ExpertRating Online Microsoft Visio Course (2003- Introduction) - $129.99
