Helpful information about IT tools and resources for Faculty, 2006-2007

What's New in Curricular IT at Evergreen?

• New Teaching and Learning Tools - contact your Academic Computing Liaison to get started or for more information
  • Blogs - a personal journal that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author and allow others to post comments or critique.
  • Drupal – a great tool for creating curricular web-pages and online web-sites where the emphasis is on community interaction. Drupal is easy to use and allows you to focus on content rather than technology.
  • Wikis: Wikis are best when you’re focusing on group authoring of a piece of written work. (e.g. books, papers, documentation).
  • Moodle - Evergreen’s LMS (learning management system) similar to “Blackboard” that supports structured course-work with tools like assignments, quizzes, peer assessment, etc. Moodle is easy to use and has many powerful features designed to augment the classroom experience.
