Add an External Learning Tool in myCourses

Some external learning tools (e.g., Crowdmark, FeedbackFruits) are integrated within myCourses so that you and your students can access them without leaving the myCourses environment. These integrations also allow for the exchange of data, such as grades. While some external learning tools are available to all instructors and can be freely added to Modules and Units within the Content tool, other tools are only available upon request from the IT Service Desk or Teaching and Learning Services (due to a limited number of licenses).

See here for a list of McGill-approved external learning tools that are integrated with myCourses.

If there is an external learning tool not currently available at McGill that you would like to request, please submit this form (note: McGill login required).

While this resource is accessible worldwide, McGill University is on land which has served and continues to serve as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. Teaching and Learning Services acknowledges and thanks the diverse Indigenous peoples whose footsteps mark this territory on which peoples of the world now gather. This land acknowledgment is shared as a starting point to provide context for further learning and action.
