Student Educational Technology Resources
From extreme weather situations days to natural disasters, such unexpected events can disrupt face-to-face instruction. In such cases, your faculty may use various technology tools to facilitate instruction.
Blackboard Learn Ultra is the learning management system used by Coppin faculty to facilitate student instruction and grading. Blackboard integrates several tools to diversity learning opportunities, including:
- Panopto to record lectures, live-stream courses, and provide video-based assessments;
- TurnItIn to grade student papers and detect for potential plagiarism;
- Blackboard Collaborate (Now Class for Web) to host synchronous online meetings (classes, office hours, tutoring sessions, etc.);
- Blackboard Ally to make digital course content more accessible;
- PlayPosit (Now WeVideo) to create interactive video lessons from items posted on YouTube, Ted, Vimeo, and other video repositories; and
- Qwickly to manage student attendance.
As a student, you have a Microsoft 365 Account, which allows up to five downloads of the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.) onto personal devices, such as home computers and laptops. Your Office 365 license also gives you access to several tools such as Forms (create online surveys), Sway (create digital story pages), Teams (virtual project collaboration space, video conferencing).
Here are instructions for downloading Microsoft 365 on your personal devices.
Mobile Apps
Most of the instructional technology tools have mobile apps where you can create and assess content. Consider downloading these apps to your mobile device. All of them are free.
