Power Searching with Google is back

Posted on 01:14 by Unknown
En Français

If you missed Power Searching with Google a few months ago or were unable to complete the course the first time around, now’s your chance to sign up again for our free online course that aims to empower our users with the tools and knowledge to find what they’re looking for more quickly and easily.

The community-based course features six 50-minute classes along with interactive activities and the opportunity to hear from search experts and Googlers about how search works. Beginning September 24, you can take the classes over a two-week period, share what you learn with other students in a community forum, and complete the course assessments to earn a certificate of completion.

During the course’s first run in July, people told us how they not only liked learning about new features and more efficient ways to use Google, but they also enjoyed sharing tips and learning from one another through the forums and Hangouts. Ninety-six percent of people who completed the course also said they liked the format and would be interested in taking similar courses, so we plan to offer a suite of upcoming courses in the coming months, including Advanced Power Searching.

Stay tuned for further announcements on those upcoming courses, and don’t forget to register now for Power Searching with Google. You’ll learn about things like how to search by color, image, and time and how to solve harder trivia questions like our A Google a Day questions. We’ll see you when we start up in a few days!

La puissance de la recherche avec Google : une nouvelle édition

Si vous avez manqué la formation Power Searching with Google il y a quelques mois ou que vous n'avez pas pu terminer la session la première fois, vous allez pouvoir vous rattraper en vous inscrivant à nouveau à notre formation gratuite en ligne, qui vise à donner aux internautes les outils et les connaissances pour trouver ce qu'ils cherchent plus rapidement et plus facilement.

La formation communautaire se compose de six séances de 50 minutes, accompagnées d'activités interactives, avec la possibilité de questionner des experts et des Googlers sur la façon dont fonctionne le moteur de recherche. À partir du 24 septembre, vous pouvez suivre les cours sur deux semaines, partager ce que vous avez appris avec d'autres étudiants sur un forum communautaire et effectuer les évaluations pour obtenir un certificat de fin de session.

Au cours de la première session en juillet, les participants nous ont dit combien ils avaient apprécié non seulement de découvrir de nouvelles fonctions et des moyens plus efficaces d'utiliser Google, mais aussi de partager des conseils et leurs connaissances avec d'autres via les forums et les Hangouts. 96 % de ceux qui ont terminé la session ont également indiqué qu'ils ont apprécié le format des cours et qu'ils seraient intéressés par des cours similaires. Aussi prévoyons-nous une suite dans les mois à venir, dont une session de recherche avancée.

Soyez attentifs aux annonces sur ces prochains cours et n'oubliez pas de vous inscrire dès maintenant à la session Power Searching with Google. Vous y apprendrez pas exemple comment effectuer des recherches par couleur, image ou heure, et comment résoudre des questions plus pointues telles que celles de notre jeu A Google a Day. Vous verrez quand nous commencerons dans deux semaines !
