Note

Words of Caution

  • Pedagogy first! Never use a software solution to just use it. Make sure it matches your course pedagogy.

  • Whenever possible, use a college-supported software solution.

  • Try to limit the number of additional logins that you require of your students.

  • Do not put student grades on platforms not supported by the college.

  • Ensure platforms not supported by the college meet accessibility required.
