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(s) might fit the needs of your academic program.

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:

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, f
