There are two online training sites currently available to SVUSD employees. The first is ElementK.com, and the second is CTAP Virtual Training. ElementK is very interactive and focuses on the Microsoft Suite (for both PC's and Mac's) while the CTAP Virtual Training site is more of a video style training session that focuses predominately on Mac based applications. See below for more information about each web site.

CTAP Virtual Training -

The CTAP Virtual Training site is better for users who are accustomed to Mac's. This site contains many of the same courses as the ElementK site, but these courses are not as interactive (more of a video style) and some of the courses aren't as current as on ElementK. However, this site does contain courseware for those of you who have older computers with older versions of software loaded.
