We are testing out new educational technologies and tools to see which ones would be most useful to you as instructors. Recognizing the diverse needs of students in the classroom and presenting lessons and information in different platforms or modes ensures all learners have a chance for success.
These fun tools not only help you create more engaging content but also align with the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles. We have identified and can provide support (help with technical issues) with several tools you can integrate into your courses.

Articulate 360 is the top PC-based eLearning authoring software on the market. It has lots of built-in features to create accessible activities that enhance engagement.
