What is Tegrity?

• Tegrity makes class time available all the time by making every class on campus available for replay by every student – anytime, anywhere.

• As you conduct your normal class lecture, Connect records and indexes your slides, audio, and any other applications you run on your computer… like spreadsheets or video.

• Educators know that the more students can see, hear, and experience a class, the better they learn.

• With patented Tegrity “search anything” technology, students instantly recall key class moments for replay online, or on iPods and mobile devices.

In Summary …

• Connect is a full learning and assessment solution that was designed and developed through observational research.

• Connect improves students’ performance by making the learning process more efficient and more focused through the use of engaging assignable content and integrated tools.

• Connect saves faculty time through an intuitive easy to use interface that exposes all the course management features when you need them and through prebuilt assignments that instructors can modify/add to rather than build from scratch.

• It is more than a Course Management System, it is a complete learning management system. It integrates seamlessly into a CMS (Blackboard/Web CT or Angel) or can be used standalone.
