Infobase Learning Cloud

What is Infobase Learning Cloud?

Infobase, formerly Hoonuit, is available to ALL Gustavus Faculty, Staff and Students!

Infobase is an online, on demand, training site that offers over 50,000 tutorial videos on over 250 technology applications, including Microsoft, Google, and Adobe. Topics are subdivided into very small chunks, and presented in videos of one or two minutes, so learners can easily and quickly find the training they need on specific topics. Instructors can pull Infobase videos directly into their Moodle courses.

24/7 access to training offers flexible, just-in-time learning - just navigate to https://gustavus.edu/infobase and login using your GAC Credentials! No more registering or waiting for a class to happen some time in the future - Infobase narrated video tutorials are ready when you are! Simply type your keywords, optionally add filters for application, topic and category, and click the Search button.
