Portal Support Pages
Our portal Support page is available to anyone requiring assistance with their blended courses. Many of the resources are based on our mentoring experience with LearnIT2teach participants. An example of this is the WebQuest page. It helps instructors decide on the best possible ways to construct these project based learning activities for their blended teaching purposes. Our Support page is growing along with the LearnIT2teach community and its needs. The Support Page leads to an FAQ, Administrator, Instructor, Student, Trainee and Start up sections. To access the Support page click on the Support link in the menu above.
