Studeous : connecting your classroom
http://www.studeous.com/ Studeous : connecting your classroom We created Studeous because we believe that education is priceless. The Learning Management Systems (LMS) currently available may be poorly designed and too expensive. The open source systems possibly are too confusing and difficult to maintain. Finally, an easy to use, intuitive, and safe LMS is available to the academic world for free. Studeous is completely free. We don't care if your entire school runs on it, we will never charge you The only information people can see is your name and email address, and you can even make your email address private if you want. As a teacher, you have total control over who has access to your class page and any content you post. You can remove your account at any time. |

FAST - Free Assessment Summary Tool - Online
http://www.getfast.ca/ FAST - Free Assessment Summary Tool - Online I particularly like this option to help get your class(room) online... as it allows a teacher to set up an online assessment tool with few skills, in a short time and free. I guess students could also use it to have others evaluate their work on a particular project The FAST project is committed to providing users with a simple online tool for assessing their students' impressions of their courses and their teaching. Using the software does not cost anything so if this is your first visit, become a user and see if FAST would be useful for you and your students. FAST is an anonymous online survey tool that automatically summarizes students' impressions of a course and/or teacher and supplies the data directly to the teacher. FAST allows a teacher to develop an online survey that students can complete 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Teachers can ask up to 20 questions (and change them whenever they want) to determine how students are finding their teaching and the course. The software automatically summarizes and consolidates the students' comments, in real-time, on the web or into a downloadable customized Excel spreadsheet. FAST is contractually obligated to remain free until (at least) October 2006. Any changes after that date would require the unanimous consent of all co-owners. |
