New to SLATE? – Instructors/Staff
Welcome to Sheridan! To get you started, below are important links to help you log in and navigate through SLATE. These guides are geared towards instructors and/or staff at Sheridan.
We also offer synchronous sessions each semester that you can register for through PD Connect.
If you cannot attend these classes, we created an Introduction to SLATE page that covers the same materials you can work on at your own pace.
