What Changed and Why?
MyConversationTrainer (MCT) will be accessed through vhlcentral.com rather than a separate login.
This update simplifies access for both educators and students by:
- Providing a single login via vhlcentral.com
- Streamlining section and roster management
- Reducing account confusion and duplicate credentials
- 1 place for educators and students to access MyConversationTrainer and other Vista Higher Learning programs
MyConversationTrainer itself is not changing—only how you (educators and students) access it.
No action is needed from educators or students to update accounts. To access MyConversationTrainer, log in at vhlcentral.com using your vhlcentral credentials, then navigate to the Supplements tab from your dashboard.
