Tegrity Lecture Viewing Guide
Hello Brad,
As you know, we have been having a lot of problems with new students accessing their Tegrity lectures
this semester. To help mitigate this problem, I’ve created a guide together which gives new users a
walkthrough on how to access their lectures. My hope is that the guide will be effective at easing students into
the system walking them through the process in non-technical language and highlighting the major problems
that may occur in each step
Please have the team take a look and offer feedback on the guide. I think that it will be effective at
helping to reduce the amount of time that we have to spend on resolving these issues, freeing up time to
address larger problems.
Regards,
Luther
