Section 4: Use Technology in Your Academic Life

Chalk

Chalk is the University's learning management tool, which provides a common easy-to-use framework for course materials. Students using a Chalk course site can access course materials and assignments or take online tests and surveys; faculty can maintain and post grades and utilize the discussion board, blog, and wiki tools.
