Tools for Teaching

Finding the right tools for specific activities is no small task. Instructors must take the time to get familiar with the best combination of tools and technologies available to effectively reach their students and facilitate a comfortable learning experience. 

Get Technical Support  Book a Learning Designer

Use the menu on the left (and the quick list below) to access resources on teaching tools provided through institutional subscriptions. Book time with a learning designer to integrate these tools into your course design.

Request External Tool for Canvas

Additional third-party tools can be enabled in your course upon request. To request a tool, please write to learningdesign@umb.edu and copy the external representative (vendor) that is helping with your account to provide Learning Design with the necessary specific technical information to integrate the tool.

Please note that Learning Design Services is not able to provide direct support for tools for which we do not have university subscriptions; support for those tools is provided to the instructor directly by the vendor.
