Can I use an unlisted tool?

Want to try a tool not listed here? Absolutely. Because we may be learning the tool along with you and navigating potential system compatibility issues, flexibility is key.

Please reach out to us to discuss any new tools you'd like to try.

⚠️

Pedagogy first! Never use a software solution to just use it. Make sure it matches your course pedagogy.
Whenever possible, use a college-supported software solution.
Try to limit the number of additional logins that you require of your students.
Do not put student grades on platforms not supported by the college.
Ensure platforms not supported by the college meet accessibility requirements.
