  • 1.  Introductory Guide to Email: Instructor Account?

    Hello everyone,

    As I'm reading over instructor's guide I see there' are references to an instructor account to use for live trainings.  However, I can't seem to find the information for accessing this account in any of the materials.  Am I misreading the material and we're to create our own instructor accounts, or is there one that we'll be able to use that has been set up by PLA?

    Thank you,

    Hi Erik:

    I think you are referring to the Video Conferencing materials. For that it's suggesting that the instructor should have a login for Zoom. The instructor can use their own or one your library uses or even set up a free account just for the class. You will not need to login to the DigitalLearn website that is just for our web developers and curriculum designers.  
    Sorry for any confusion!

    Hello MC, 

    I still think there's some confusion, I'm refereeing to the Email Basics on page four.
    "• Gmail account: Because your email is personal to you, we do not expect you to use you
    own account to teach this workshop. Nor do we expect you to create a Gmail account for
    demonstration purposes. However, you can create an account for teaching if you prefer
    or use the instructor account.
    • Before the workshop, verify that you can log into the account you will use in the
    workshop. If you want to conduct a live demonstration instead of using the PowerPoint,
    we recommend that you make sure that the files used in the workshop are available in
    the instructor demonstration email account. Below are the steps you should take to
    include the needed examples in the instructor demonstration email account. "

    Good morning:
    I have reached out to the curriculum developer to get some clarification. I'll report back what I find out.

    Hi Erik,
    I met with the curriculum team this morning. We do not have a Zoom account to share, the text is referring to the account your library is using for staff. 
    We are glad you caught this. It's not very clear and we will be adjusting the language and uploading a revised set of documents later in September.

    I'm going to assume that the answer is essentially the same, but just in case, this isn't about a Zoom account, this is about the basics of email workshop and the information says that there is an instructor account to use for demonstrating the basics of email.

    " Gmail account: Because your email is personal to you, we do not expect you to use you
    own account to teach this workshop. Nor do we expect you to create a Gmail account for
    demonstration purposes. However, you can create an account for teaching if you prefer
    or use the instructor account."

    "Before the workshop, verify that you can log into the account you will use in the
    workshop. If you want to conduct a live demonstration instead of using the PowerPoint,
    we recommend that you make sure that the files used in the workshop are available in
    the instructor demonstration email account. Below are the steps you should take to
    include the needed examples in the instructor demonstration email account. "

    Hi Erik,
    Your assumption is correct. This is referring to the account your library would use.
