Teachers can link Moodle courses to several external software and publishing platforms to make it easier for participants to access course-specific resources on those platforms and/or to send grade or completion data to Moodle. Before you start, you may need the following: Below are the platforms that can currently be linked to Moodle courses. NameCoach gives course participants a way to listen to recordings of how each others' names are pronounced. Learning names and pronouncing them correctly helps to create a inclusive and supportive classroom environment. Panopto is the College's lecture-capture and video-streaming service. Instructors can use Panopto to record lectures and instructional audio or video, share audio and video recordings with students, create videos with embedded quizzes, and for student video assignments. Perusall is a social learning platform designed to help students engage and better understand course readings through collaborative annotation and discussion. Piazza is a third-party platform for facilitating online class discussion. It is similar to Moodle's Forum activity, but has additional features for managing discussions, enabling student questions, and providing meaningful answers, particularly in large courses. Zoom Zoom is the College's primary service for instructional meetings. Instructors can use Zoom to hold and record online class sessions. They also can use it for non-class sessions such as office hours or discussions with outside speakers. Warning: Unlike Moodle, which is managed internally by LITs staff, all third-party software platforms are hosted on servers that Bryn Mawr College does not control. Please do the following when using an external tool within Moodle. If you’d like LITS to connect an online educational tool or textbook to Moodle, please contact the Help Desk to put in a request and a member of our Moodle team will follow up for more information. Some general guidelines: If you have any additional questions or problems, don't hesitate to reach out to the Help Desk! Phone: 610-526-7440 | Library and Help Desk hours
