ElementK
ElementK is an on-line, web-based technology training made available
to all Whitman College students, faculty and staff, through our assocation
with the Boston Consortium for
Higher Education.
This service allows you to take a course at your own pace from any
on-campus networked computer with a web browser. The list of available
courses will change as new software becomes available.
To Get Started:
- You will need a login and passwored to give you access to the web
site. To obtain a login/password, send a request to
training@whitman.edu.
- This login/password is valid for a period of one month. The Element K
web site will track your progress and list courses you have completed.
- Because of our license agreement, these courses can only be
viewed using computers on the Whitman campus network.
Setup:
- All public lab computers at Whitman are already set up
with the required plug-ins.
- If you are using your own computer or an
office computer, and the plug-ins are not installed, the Element K web
site will help you through the process.
Taking a course:
- Go to www.elementk.com and
sign in with your login and password sent to you (see enrollment).
- On the My Courses page,
click on the Course Catalog link. Please note that some courses
are self-study and some are instructor-led. Only self-study courses are
available at this time.
- You can either choose a course to take, or take an assessment to help
identify your skill gaps. Courses that include assessments are labeled,
and after you complete the assessment a training path will be recommended.
Element K keeps track of which training you have finished so you can
view your progress.
Logging out of Element K:
When you are
done with a training session, be sure to click the Logout
button on the bottom left of the Element K window.
Help with Element K:
