Want training specific to Meredith College software?
Along with Infobase Learning Cloud trainings, we now have videos and resources compiled specifically for software and tools we use here at Meredith College. Employees and students can sign in directly from this link or through the My Meredith portal page. Just click on “My Training” from the Infobase account drop down.
Infobase Learning Cloud (formerly Hoonuit) is an online resource that has how-to training on common software and devices. Each online training course is made up of short 1- to 3-minute video segments. This learn-at-your-own-pace solution offers the flexibility to skip lessons you’re already familiar with and review lessons that prove more difficult. All training is online and on-demand.
