Welcome to the TELT Gateway
The TELT Platform
TELT, or Technology Enabled Learning and Teaching, is the suite of technologies and applications that support learning and teaching at UNSW. The TELT platform is gradually being developed and each application that is added will be regularly reviewed to assess its ongoing suitability to meet the learning and teaching needs of the University.
TELT Gateway is the central access point for all the applications currently available on the platform with login links or instructions on how to sign up for each service. Training resources and support information to help users is also linked to this Gateway.
