Chalk Learning Management System
Each day of the academic year an average of 4800 visitors view 143,000 pages and download over 14 GB of content from Chalk. Chalk, as it is known on campus, is a learning management tool that uses the Blackboard Academic SuiteTM of software to provide a common easy-to-use framework for faculty to develop and disseminate course materials to students.
Any person with a valid CNetID and CNet password can log in to chalk.uchicago.edu and explore the various course offerings and tools on the system that are open to guests. Students enrolled in Chalk-hosted courses can access course materials and assignments or take online tests and surveys, faculty can maintain and post grades using the Grade Book feature and encourage communication and participation through the Discussion Board, and prospective students may browse the Course Catalog to review the syllabi of courses that interest them. Coming in the 2005 academic year will be new features such as support for authenticated blogs and wikis, cross-course searching, and closer integration with the Library.
On this support site, you'll find information that will help you get the most out of your Chalk course site. This site is updated on a regular basis, so please check back periodically. We will be adding tutorial movies in the next few weeks, in addition to more documentation. Feel free to contact chalk@uchicago.edu if you have any questions or have a topic suggestion. The Chalk team will answer your email on a timely basis.
