Please note the Edvance360 tutorials are based on the default system settings. Edvance360 provides the ability to tailor the system to utilize the terminology you prefer. So the tutorials may vary slightly if you have changed the terminology. For example, if you prefer the term "trainer" versus "faculty" you can make that change. However the tutorials will use the default term "faculty".
