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. A few examples can be found at http://www2.evergreen.edu/blogs/
  • 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. A great example can be found at http://www2.evergreen.edu/ireland/
  • Wikis - Wikis are best when you’re focusing on group authoring of a piece of written work. (e.g. books, papers, etc). This page was created using Evergreen's wiki tool!
  • Moodle - similar to “Blackboard”, Moodle 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. A good example can be found at http://www2.evergreen.edu/moodle/course/view.php?id=14, or enter the Demonstation Class to explore Moodle a little deeper.
• Visit the Academic Computing Curricular Resources web pages to see the complete list of web-based Teaching and Learning tools that are available.
