Curricular Technology Tools

Evergreen provides a range of technologies for faculty to utilize in their teaching. Below are some of the primary options available by request 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. This is accomplished through one-on-one consultation, connecting faculty to appropriate technology resources and resource providers.

Canvas

A full-featured Learning Management System which is replacing Moodle. Canvas offers a full suite of online tools including several options for providing feedback, built-in rubrics, a great quiz builder and much more. For an introduction to Canvas basics, self-enroll into the online Orientation for Faculty and/or contact Bridget Irish (irishb@evergreen.edu) to schedule an in-person tutorial. Learn more...

Moodle

Moodle is Evergreen's legacy LMS which is no longer in use (as of Spring 2015).

Archived sites are still available to faculty as needed, though off-campus access is no longer available for security purposes (as of Summer 2016). If you would like help with accessing old Moodle sites and content, or learn about transitioning to Canvas or WordPress, please submit a support ticket at help.evergreen.edu and the Academic Technologies team will follow up with you.

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 LMS site. Learn more...

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. Learn more...

Program Fileshares

Orca Program Shares are networked file space accessible only by the Faculty and registered students for a particular program. They can be accessed from both on and off campus. These folders are cycled and purged every quarter in order to provide sufficient workspace needed to meet curricular needs. Learn more...
