This site is intended to help faculty utilize technology and course development tools at WPI for online, hybrid, and face-to-face courses. Many of these resources are helpful in moving a traditionally face-to-face course to online delivery.

Click on Modules on the left hand side to see all the guides.

For a "quick start" review the materials below:

Recommended Tools

Canvas is WPI's learning management system. It can be used for all course delivery methods. Build your syllabus, upload files, offer assignments, quizzes, and communicate with your students from a central location. Echo360, Teams, and Zoom are all integrated into Canvas. All courses in Workday are automatically given a Canvas course shell. Use our form to request course modifications.

Echo360 is WPI's lecture capture and video storage solution. Every classroom on campus is outfitted with Echo360 recording device, which can be automatically uploaded to your Canvas course site. Echo360 can also be used from your personal computer. Please use our form to request lecture capture for your course.

Zoom is WPI's web conferencing solution. All faculty and students are granted licensed Zoom accounts and can be accessed by logging in to http://wpi.zoom.us. Zoom is integrated into Canvas and recordings can also be automatically uploaded to Echo360.
