We are pleased to announce the launch of the DT+ Training Academy, a new on-demand training experience where users can learn how to optimize the DT+ platform to suit their teaching needs.
Here's a short introduction to what this new offering means...
What is the DT+ Training Academy?
In our standard process, new subscribers receive live, online training from their Customer Success representative. During these calls, they are taught to navigate and optimize the platform to suit their specific teaching needs.
However, we are all too aware of the time constraints facing teachers, and with our growing global customer base, time differences can make scheduling these calls even more difficult.
This is where the DT+ Training Academy comes in.
New and existing customers can now access training whenever they need it. This on-demand experience also allows customers to dip in and out of training, taking the time to absorb their learning and optimize their DT+ experience at a pace that suits them.
We pride ourselves on offering a flexible platform for teachers, and the DT+ Training Academy offers just that: flexibility. It is an alternative, rather than a replacement for our personalized training calls, which remain available to all customers at any point during their subscription.
The DT+ Training Academy is available now via the platform.
What can users expect from the DT+ Training Academy?
The DT+ Training Academy includes eight modules across three courses:
- DT+ 101: How to use the platform and enhance your DT+ experience
- Using DT+ to Teach Theatre: How to find and use theatre materials on the platform
- Using DT+ to Teach English: How to find and use English materials on the platform
Each course is worth one hour of professional development*, with a Certificate of Attendance automatically provided upon completion.
For example, an English teacher would be directed towards DT+ 101 and Using DT+ to Teach English, allowing them to earn up to two additional hours of PD (all while learning how to use the platform).
And the benefits of the DT+ Training Academy don't end with PD hours:
- Quickly upskill new teachers: The always-there optionality of the DT+ Training Academy makes it easier than ever to onboard new staff at any point during your subscription period.
- Discover new resources: These training courses provide a comprehensive introduction to the thousands of resources available, preventing relevant material from going undiscovered.
- Personalize your DT+ experience: Each training course introduces key features and functionalities available on DT+, allowing teachers to tailor the platform to their unique teaching style.
How can you access the DT+ Training Academy?
The DT+ Training Academy is now available to existing subscribers and can be accessed through the platform by clicking here.
If you are not a DT+ customer, book a demo today to explore the platform, including the DT+ Training Academy (and many more time-saving resources that could support your next lesson).
