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.

After submitting the request form, you should receive a confirmation email with your course enrollment key within 1-2 days.
Then, schedule a quick introduction to Moodle 3. We’ll help you customize your new course site.
Google Classroom is part of Google Apps for Education (G Suite).This application offers an interactive classroom collaboration space. It’s well integrated with Google Drive, Docs, Calendar and Forms (for creating Quizzes).
Log in to your Bard Google account, click the Google Apps Launcher icon in the upper right corner of your web browser. Select CLASSROOM. Or, log into Google Classroom directly.
Request Teacher Access.
Once this has been granted, you can create your new Classroom sites.
Course blog? 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 course blog usually takes the most time to set up, because it is endlessly configurable. Your blog can be publicly visible or private (visible only to your enrolled students). First, request your Course blog, then, meet with us to start customizing it.
