New Online, Self-Study Tutorials
We have taken the next step to help you be more self-sufficient with new, online self-service training and resources. So, now you can get just the information you need, when you need it. Quick Start Guides will get first time users up and running in about an hour, and tutorials demonstrate how to perform the tasks you do every day.
You can choose how to learn. If you prefer a cognitive approach, try learning with the online tutorials. If you prefer a task-based approach, you will be more comfortable learning with Quick Reference Cards. Used separately or together, these just-in-time resources will help you get up-to-speed fast.
We won't waste your time. All of our self-service training is based on what you need to know as a teacher or as an administrator. Our newest tutorials will help you leverage the new reporting and assessment tools, use real-world scenarios to learn how to apply data in meaningful ways, and learn strategies to make data-driven instructional decisions.
