ALCA Membership Accounts

Currently three types of memberships (accounts) are available through the Aurora Learning Community Association. These include Novice, Student, and Professional memberships. 

Novices

A Novice membership allows you to establish an account in ALCA at no cost.  As a Novice you have access to a digital locker allowing you to create any of the twenty different types of Arch Resources. One of these Arch resources is a File resource allowing you to upload computer files including Office, SmartBoard, audio, video, graphics, and dozens of other file formats. A Novice has available to them 100 mg of disk space and the ability to create up to 100 resources.

You can create your own account by registering on site.

Education Memberships
