What is Course Studio?
Course Studio is an easy-to-use system that enables faculty to:
- Create course home pages.
- Share documents and photos with students.
- Post course syllabuses.
- Manage threaded discussions.
- Chat with students in real time.
- Publish links to resources.
- Post class news and announcements.
Course Studio is accessible to students and faculty via MyPortal.
Why Should You Use It?
Use Course Studio if you want:
- A useful and simple way to share information and facilitate collaboration among students enrolled in your classes.
- Online communication tools that you can use with little or no training.
Course Studio lacks advanced course management features, such as a class gradebook, assessment tools, assignment drop boxes and e-mail. If you need a full course management system, use Etudes (Foothill) or Catalyst (De Anza).
See Foothill Online Instructional Tools or De Anza Online Instructional Tools for a matrix that compares Course Studio features with other online applications that enhance instruction.
