This information is included in the Course Outline Template and in this handout. Please include this information in your course outline to ensure accessibility to all of your students.
Back to TopCourse Outlines

The course outline must include specific information so please use the following 2013-14 Course Outline Template.

Back to TopcuLearn (New learning management system powered by Moodle)
All instructors are now able to access cuLearn at http://www.carleton.ca/culearn/ using the same Carleton credentials you use with WebCT. cuLearn will run in parallel to WebCT until May 2013 and instructors may choose either system to support their teaching. After May 2013, WebCT will no longer be available. Efforts to move content from previous academic year’s WebCT courses into cuLearn are also well underway.
In order to help instructors with the transition to cuLearn, the Educational Development Centre has created cuLearn support documentation (http://www.carleton.ca/culearnsupport/) and is offering various types of cuLearn training. Instructors can sign-up for cuLearn training by visiting http://www.carleton.ca/edc/events/culearn-training/ and selecting any of the listed sessions.
