The Stratepedia Learning Labs are online communities of practice, learning and support for educators, particularly those working with the Strategic Instruction Model or Content Literacy Continuum initiatives. The site serves two purposes: First, it houses public and private collaborative workspaces for these groups. Second, it stores online workshops and training sequences used in distributed SIM professional development.
The Learning Labs have very basic technical requirements: If you have a computer with an Internet connection and a web browser, you are ready to use the site. The site works on both Windows and Macintosh-based computers and has been tested with most modern web browsers.
Most areas in the Learning Labs require an account to access. Registering for an account is free and allows you to interact with other people in that course or workgroup.
You'll need to use your account to access most of the functions and content in the Learning Labs. You'll need to sign in each time you use the site, using the steps outlined here.
Before you begin: Before you sign in, make sure you've created an account and know what your username and password are.
Yes. Use these following steps to access the Learning Labs as a guest. Being a guest means that you do not have to create an account or officially sign in, although your participation may be limited.
Forget your Learning Labs account information? This page is for you. The Learning Labs doesn't have a password reminder, but it does have a way to help you create a temporary password and then assign a new password. This procedure takes a few steps–please follow along carefully.
Generally speaking, you must join a public workgroup or online course prior to viewing its content or interacting with other members. Some workgroups allow guest access–see Signing into the Learning Labs as a guest for more information.
Effective February 25, 2010, we are changing our policy regarding the Learning Labs service. We will no longer add new groups to the Learning Labs. We will continue to host and support existing groups using the site.
You must join a private workgroup prior to viewing its contact or interacting with other members.
Before you begin:
1. You must be signed into the Learning Labs to join a workgroup–see Signing into the Learning Labs for assistance.
2. You need to know the enrollment key required to join the workgroup. Contact the person in charge of your group to get this information.
