Educational Technologies

The eLearning team assists faculty, students and staff in the use of technology for teaching and learning. The department supports a number of enterprise technologies, but also explores new technologies to examine their potential for use in teaching.

Laurier Educational Technologies

iClicker

Laurier's chosen classroom response system to support large-class participation is iClicker. iClicker Cloud access codes can be purchased from the Laurier Bookstore. Physical remotes must be registered via MyLearningSpace once per year to connect your class participation with your student record. Find help for iClicker at clickers@wlu.ca.

Turnitin

Turnitin.com is a plagiarism detection service that faculty, on a voluntary basis, may wish to use in their courses. This service can also be used to enable online grading and peer-graded assignments. Find help for Turnitin at myls@wlu.ca.

Respondus Lockdown Browser

Respondus LockDown Browser is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment within MyLearningSpace. Lockdown browser prevents printing, copying, going to other URLs or accessing other applications. When an assessment is started, users are locked into the browser until they submit it for grading.
