Learning Management Systems
Purchase College currently offers both Moodle and Blackboard learning management systems, as well as ERes electronic reserves. We will phase out ERes at the end of the summer semesters, 2009. We will maintain Blackboard through the 2009/2010 academic year, but will likely phase it out after that and use Moodle solely.
WordPress blogs
The Purchase College multiuser WordPress server is available at http://blogs.purchase.edu. Anyone with a Purchase account can log in at the Purchase blogs site and automatically have a personal blog set up. Contact the Teaching, Learning, and Technology Center if you would like to have a blog set up for your course.
Second Life
Purchase College owns an island in Second Life, and we plan to implement an integration between Moodle and Second Life during summer 2009. This will allow us to support course-related activities on our Second Life island.
Classroom Response Systems
All of the smart classrooms are equipped with receivers to support use of Turning Point clickers.
