As the information and communications technology becomes more advanced, various new information and education systems are implemented in universities. Hence, universities often conduct workshops to introduce on how to use the new systems. In this respect, one challenge might be faced by universities is how a workshop can be conducted effectively to ensure that participants master the new teaching information systems. Thus, this paper aims to share (i) the ways of an instructor introducing a new system, and (ii) the experiences of participants to learn a new system in the workshop. A total of 13 participants attended the workshop, but only 9 of them voluntarily filled in the questionnaire form. The result shows that participants agreed that the workshop content is useful for them and they learned how to use the new system.
