Staff from LITC have been busy this sumer pulling together information about all the software and hardware available to teachers in the computer labs and viewing rooms. The result is a comprehensive list detailing what software/hardware is available in each of the labs/rooms, as well as information on how to use these tools. All of this information can be accessed at I.T. Help Online. For now, you will find information about course management systems (Lea and Moodle), the Sympodium tablets, Synchron-eyes software, and course peforance systems (a.k.a. clickers). This is site is a work in progress and will continue to expand as more information is added to it. We will also be adding information/tutorials that relate to the pedagogical applications of these tools (i.e. once you know how the tools work, how can you use them in your classes?) So, let us know what you think – does the site answer your main questions or is something important missing? Use the comment box below to send us your feedback.
A list compiled by the Centre for Learning and Performance Technology based on the feedback of 155 learning professionals who shared their favourite tools for learning both in terms of their own learning/productivity and for creating learning solutions for others. If you have a project in mind and are looking for a tool to help you, this would be a good place to start your search. Click here to see the list: http://www.c4lpt.co.uk/recommended/top100.html

This is a great video that offers a clear and understandable introduction to blogs. Want to see a blog in action? Look no further. This site (ITTL @ Vanier) is made with Wordpress, one of the most popular (and free) blogging softwares out there. I have given it a more “CMS” or news-like function, but it is still just a blog – no programming knowledge necessary! Do you have any questions or comments regarding the video? If so, please use the comment box below. I look forward to reading your thoughts.
