Overview
Support and training doesn’t end after onboarding. That’s why we offer ongoing virtual training webinars. During these sessions, our team can get new instructors up to speed, help you build on your Harmonize skills, show you the latest and greatest features that can improve student engagement, promote inclusive learning, and save instructors time. And our team is on hand to train and answer any Harmonize questions during our live webinars. Topics rotate throughout the series, and new offerings are added periodically. All Harmonize administrators and course instructors are invited to take full advantage of our complimentary virtual training series.
