Using these tutorials, you can introduce yourself to the Vista course management system one small step at a time. Each lesson is made up of one or more short multimedia tutorials. The handout for the related classroom-based training course, "60 Minute Vista" can be used as a job aid in conjunction with the tutorials linked below.The length of each tutorial (or series of tutorials) is indicated to its right.

In addition to the videos below, a comprehensive set of Vista documentation and tutorials are available via the "Orientation - Vista Technical Resources for Faculty" online course. For information and instructions, visit the Vista Training Manual page.
