Ever since Miami began a relationship with web-based training expert Atomic Learning, they have provided the entire Miami community with a tremendous knowledge resource.

Although those extensive training options have not changed, the name has. Atomic Learning is now Hoonuit.

Hoonuit is an online technology training and professional development tool for educators. Miami's license allows all faculty, staff, and students to access nearly 50,000 step-by-step tutorials on common software such as Microsoft Office, Adobe CS6, and workshops and technology integration projects on emerging topics such as plagiarism and online courses.

Available 24/7 from campus or home, Hoonuit creates flexible learning opportunities that make it easy for learners of all ages to embrace technology and develop critical skills for success at school, at work, and in life.

Hoonuit markets itself as being: “Rooted in education, Hoonuit understands the unique issues that colleges and universities face, and provides cost-effective, yet innovative solutions.”

For Miami faculty, staff and students it is very cost-effective to use the service. In fact, it is free. The available training is also very applicable to Miami users. It not only provides courses on general software like Microsoft and Adobe products, but provides instruction for using some common Miami-specific systems like Canvas and Qualtrics.

Hoonuit is also constantly adding and adjusting its library of content. Some of the latest titles added recently include:

• Qualtrics - Advanced
• Differentiated Instruction
• Adobe Premiere Pro Creative Cloud 2017 - Advanced
• Strategic Leadership

Featured education courses include:

• Teaching Online: The Basics
• Instructional Video Best Practices
• Creating Engaging Lessons Online
