CTools

CTools (like its predecessor, CourseTools) is a course management system designed to be a "container" for course materials and a collection of tools, like threaded discussion and live chat tools, that help facilitate online and face-to-face courses.

A key to using CTools successfully is to remember that using CTools is a skill students must develop. By using CTools consistently among courses, we reduce the amount of time students need to spend re-learning how to find documents, submit assignments, etc., and instead spend that energy on mastering course material, writing papers, and doing projects.
