The Connect platform is designed to be as intuitive as possible. Still, there's a lot to get your head around, especially if you have limited experience integrating technology into your course as a core part of instructional design. Your academic consultant, alongside our integration and technical support teams, are here to help you set up your course within Connect according to your defined structure and can advise on how to set up gold-standard online or hybrid courses following OLC (Online Learning Consortium) best practice and principles.
In addition, we've created a suite of videos to help you get to grips with the Connect 'basics' as well as interviews with Connect super-users to give you insight into how you can use Connect in more innovative ways to transform teaching and learning at your institution.
