Spotlight on Learning Management Systems (LMS) at Bard

Request an Online Course

  • Login to Moodle
    Moodle is Bard’s official learning management system. What it does well: forum discussions, centralized assignment submission, document sharing, and quizzes created from question banks. What it does less well: grade-book, collaborative work, and sharing large files.
  • Login to Google Classroom
    Google Classroom is part of Google Apps for Education (G Suite) and has been offered at Bard since Fall 2017. This application offers an interactive classroom collaboration space. It’s well integrated with Google Drive, Docs, Calendar and Forms (for creating Quizzes).
  • Request a Course Blog
    Courseblog? Think of it as a self-published web site for your class. Because it is WordPress, it’s aesthetically pleasing and easy to customize. The format encourages collaborative work and resource sharing (including media files). Of all of the course tools, a courseblog usually takes the most time to set up, because it is endlessly configurable.
