Evergreen provides a range of technologies for faculty to utilize in their teaching. Below are some of the primary options available by request from your liaison or via the
Academic Technologies dashboard.
Help choosing the right tool
Academic technology support is built on the idea that technical staff consult and connect faculty with the appropriate technology to support their teaching. Through our liaison model, this is accomplished through one-on-one consultation, connecting faculty to appropriate technology resources and resource providers.
Canvas
A full-featured Learning Management System and eventual replacement for Moodle. A Canvas site will provide a full suite of online tools including writing feedback tools, built-in rubrics and eportfolios. Due to the newness and complexity of Canvas, an online orientation is available.
