Accessing Tutorials

The Nexus tutorials page is a resource designed for students, staff and faculty at The Creative School. It offers a wide collection of on-demand videos, step-by-step guides, and safety training covering various disciplines. Key tutorials include equipment walkthroughs (such as operating cameras and audio recorders), Makerspace machinery training, creative software tutorials for applications like Adobe Creative Cloud and Miro, and essential IT setup guides.

This resource is an invaluable tool for enhancing practical skills and preparing for coursework. It allows students to complete required safety certifications independently and master specialized equipment or design software at their own pace.
