Overview

  • What is different when groups work online?

  • What kinds of group work can be supported using Boise State University tools?

Consider the use of third-party learning tools in Canvas when choosing collaboration tools. Some of these tools are supported by the Boise State Office of Information Technology, while others are not. When using supported software, faculty members, staff, and students benefit from the knowledge, assistance, and vetting that OIT provides. Refer to OIT-supported software and the Teaching and Learning Tools knowledge base for a list of recommended tools. 

If OIT support is not available, you will need to locate and share publisher or vendor-provided technical support information with other instructors and with students.
