Academic Computing hosts a large number of highly customizable instructional technology applications for faculty to use with their students in the classroom. Contact your Academic Computing Liaison if you'd like a consultation to determine which application (or applications) might fit the needs of your academic program.

Moodle

Moodle provides a foundation for course management on the web. Moodle supports structured course-work with tools inlcuding discussion forums, assignments, quizzes, peer assessment and many more. Moodle at Evergreen is password protected and requires enrollment in a course or program before access to the site is available. See: Faculty Moodle Tutorial

Wordpress

WordPress is a web publishing platform with a focus on ease of use, aesthetics, and web standards. WordPress in the curriculum can be used to create publicly accessible websites including curricular sites, blogs, faculty professional sites and student academic journals. Many faculty use a public WordPress curricular site in conjunction with a private Moodle site.

Program Fileshares

Orca Program Shares are networked file space accessible only by the Faculty and enrolled students for a particular program. They can be accessed from both on and off campus. See: Orca Program Shares

MediaWiki

Wikis are most often used when faculty want their students to create an online, collaborative knowledge-base. Evergreen uses the same base install of Mediawiki found at Wikipedia.org but can be customized to meet your needs. Some faculty have used wikis at Evergreen as a staging ground for student publishing at Wikipedia. See: About Mediawiki at Evergreen

Computer Classrooms

Contact your Academic Computing Liaison to schedule a computer classroom in either the Computer Center or CAL. Each classroom has 25 stations plus a teaching station connected to a projector.

Workshops

Academic Computing staff are available to teach technology workshops to your students. Contact your Academic Computing Liaison to schedule.
