Our Online Learning Environment
We use a carefully curated selection of platforms and tools to create an engaging, interactive and supportive online learning environment that builds relationships and fosters learning.
Canvas

ELCC uses Canvas as its primary LMS. Canvas was chosen because of its clean and modern interface, its support of interactive learning and assessment and its strong regard for accessibility principles.
VoiceThread

We use VoiceThread to bring video into the courses- video discussion, video assessment and feedback, video debates and video presentations. We also use it to bring guest speakers into courses allowing students to interact with them more authentically.
Flint

A secure Flint AI integration supports our commitment to introduce students to the opportunities provided by AI, encouraging student skill development, building future readiness, while maintaining academic integrity and ethical considerations.
Pronto

Pronto is a communication tool that allows students and teachers to stay in constant contact with each other. It provides group chats, individual messaging, video calling and group organizational tools to keep students engaged and connected.
Class

Class is our synchronous learning tool. Similar to Zoom, but built as a tool for teaching and learning rather than just for meetings, it features a host of tools to support teaching, learning, observation, conversation and assessment.
Gizmos

We use Gizmos in our courses to bring virtual interactive learning experiences including math and science simulations, allowing students to engage in authentic math and science experiments and investigations.
Studio

Studio is a multimedia software tool available to students and teachers that allows them to have interactive conversations and assessments around video content. It also allows students and teachers to easily create their own professional looking video content.
