Why do I need an account?
Many of the training resources on WELS.net University require users to login with an account in order to access them. The software that we use for the site requires login to interact with many of the tools used in the courses, such as discussion forums and quizzes. Also when users login we are able to quantify the course usage on a variety of reports within the WELS.net University system, thus allowing us to document the popularity of courses. Finally, account login allows us to secure resources, such as internal technology system training materials, that should not be accessible to the general public and/or to search engine robots.
