I'm asking this all over the place, so I thought I would put it here too.
As part of a large scale review of our curriculum at the drama school we are taking a look at the computer applications that we have, either just available, taught in a class, or having a class all to themselves.
If you're working in my field and you have opinions on what programs and procedures people ought to be familiar with I would love to have them.
Thanks much.

I'm not sure what should be in a class, as a class or just available, but here is a list to get you started:
Programs: AutoCAD 2004/2005, Vectorworks 11, MS Excel, Word, Access, Project, Publisher, Filemaker Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark, Medialon Manager, SFX, Dataton's Watchout, ALGOR finite element analysis, mySQL
Activities/Procedures: Database building, CAD Drafting (2D and 3D), Three Dimensional Modeling (there are programs that are better at it than CAD, esp. for real renderings), Photo editing/manipulation, Vector Illustration, Publishing/Document creation (to send it out to a real print shop, not just the laser printer), Sound editing & recording, Show Control, Projection Design (images) and Control (projectors and images), Structural Design Analysis, video editing, DVD authoring, website design/publishing, TCP/IP protocol, general networking concepts
I was always miffed that the only photoshop option was a beginner's class, and ended up not taking it as a result. Illustrator, i think, would be good too - maybe combining that with advanced photoshop would make enough meat for a class.

Don't need a class on it or anything, but having a useful calendar program available would be hugely helpful to all the management types. I don't really have one to recommend, though - Personal Organizer and iCal are both great if you've got a Mac, but I never did find a good one that worked with Windows...
