Digital tools

We have put together some brief information and guides for digital tools for conducting teaching online.

Central digital tools:

• Studium is Uppsala universitys learning platform baserad on Canvas.  The staff portal (MP) has support pages for teachers and students. Students wrote an evaluation report about the platform and have suggestions for best practices from the student perspective.
• Mentimeter can be used by teachers to get student reponse. Uppsala University has a site license, login with your SSO. 
• Kurt is a survey tool  which can be used by all employees at Uppsala University

Local advice and support:

• Tools for distance education (with help from the Section of Chemistry) 
• Netiquette guide with instructions for students about using Zoom for teaching
