Course Management
The following issues can be addressed using Course Management Systems that are available for most instructors.
Available CMS platforms at UCLA include:
Ecampus for the
Humanities
Classweb for the
Social Sciences (and a special page for
TAs)
Virtual Office Hour for the Physical Sciences
and the commercial CMS Blackboard for
Life Sciences
In most cases, you'll need "Designer Access" to your class site in order to make changes.
Note: If you do not have access to a CMS,
visit Moddle.
Language instructors are strongly
encouraged to visit the Center for World Languages' page on
Wimba , an online communications
tool.
