Improving the Learning Environment

Learning is not attained by chance; it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.

—Abigail Adams

To make the search for learning technology a little easier for you, we have lots of good learning options for you. You can view the instructor-led training offered online.

Many courses are taught by trainers of ITG and last from one to two hours in length. You can also find courses offered by our preferred training provider, Easel Solutions, listed on our website at the UNL discounted rate. We make it convenient for you to pay for these courses with a cost object number to make your accounting easier.
