The ABC Skills Hub is available for free to anyone who wants to learn. Students can take courses on their own, or as assigned by a teacher from a Canadian school or learning centre. The free courses are for use at home and in workshops and activities that are also free for participants. Courses are not to be used for commercial purposes.
Accounts are free for Canadian organizations. This includes your organization account, all your teacher accounts, and all your student accounts.
Ask your organization’s administrator to create a teacher account for you as part of your organization. If your organization doesn’t have an ABC Skills Hub account, ask your administrator to complete and submit this form. ABC Life Literacy Canada will review the information and activate the organization account. Your administrator will be notified by e-mail when the account is activated. If you are both the administrator and teacher at your organization, you will need to create an organization account first in order to add a teacher account for yourself.
You can create a teacher account on ABC Skills Hub only if you are the administrator of an organization account. Teachers can’t create accounts for themselves unless they are the administrator of their organization’s account. Please note that you can’t use the same email address to create more than one account on ABC Skills Hub, even if you’re creating different kinds of accounts. If you only have one email account and would like to use the ABC Skills Hub as a teacher, please contact us at skillshubsupport@abclifeliteracy.ca.
The ABC Skills Hub Teacher Portal is designed to work best on a desktop or laptop computer. An ideal screen size is at least 1400px wide. The portal for learners taking courses works well on both desktops and mobile devices, even ones with smaller screens.
The ABC Skills Hub uses a tool called JavaScript to help the site run. Students need to have JavaScript enabled in their internet browser settings in order to take a course. If they’re using a computer at work, in a library, or in an employment centre, they might not be able to change the internet browser settings themselves. Students can ask for help from a supervisor or instructor. Follow the instructions here to find out how to enable JavaScript for internet browser you use.
View a list here of all courses available and to preview the course activities before assigning them to your students. This will provide you with access to a Sample Student Account and you can review as many courses as you like. Any information you enter into courses will not be saved. Please use the Sample Student Account instead of creating a test account.
