There are two new tutorial videos available now on YouTube, one for teachers and one for students! The videos assist in walking new students and teachers through the registration process, as well as other important individual points like setting up a lesson, creating your profile, etc. You can view the teacher tutorial here, and the student tutorial here. New features will be announced soon, so keep your eyes (and ears) open!
