UBC's e-Learning Toolkit is for those new to using technology in education or those looking for new ideas and best practices. In the Toolkit, you will find a definition of each learning tool, sample uses, some benefits, tips on how to get started, and additional resources.

The tools UBC currently supports are:

• Academic Continuity Toolkit
• Blackboard Collaborate
  • Web Conferencing
  • Instant Messaging (BBIM)
  • Voice Authoring (Wimba Voice Tools)
• Blogs
• Clickers
• Connect
• ePortfolios
• Kaltura
• Mobile Learning
• Open Education
• Podcasting
• Respondus Quiz
• Respondus StudyMate
• Student Peer Evaluation
• Turnitin
• WeBWorK
• Wiki
• Video Basics

If you find a tool or approach that you are interested in:

• first, consider your teaching goals. Our Framework for Assessing Technology (based on Bates' and Poole's SECTIONS model) is a good tool to help get you started.
• look for some workshops on the tool
• contact your local Instructional Support Unit or visit the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology or the Learning Commons to discuss your needs.
• explore resources available through lynda.com, an online collection of instructional videos designed to provide just-in-time training in a variety of areas. Registration and information about this five-month pilot is available at lynda.ubc.ca.
