CLEAR provides professional development and support on a variety of technologies that can aid in enriching the teaching and learning experience. Below is a list of the technologies we support:

	Blackboard Learn is a secure, Web-based environment that supports content delivery, online collaboration, and assessment. To login to Blackboard Learn, go to http://learn.unt.edu. For information about using Learn go to http://bbsupport.unt.edu.
	New for Fall 2014! GoToTraining is an online collaboration tool to enhance online courses with live, voice-based interaction. Host live online meetings of up to 100 participants. GoToTraining includes a number of audience management features such as pre-event registration, hand-raise, surveys, polls, a dashboard for monitoring attendee participation, and a post-event reports. Our subscription also includes GoToMeeting, which can be used for smaller, more informal meetings and can be launched from within Outlook. Find out more about GoToTraining and GoToMeeting here: http://clear.unt.edu/gototraining.
	Qwickly is a user-centric productivity platform for Blackboard Learn. Qwickly allows faculty to make courses available, send emails, post announcements, and post content to multiple courses at once from DropBox, Google Drive and OneDrive. - See more at: http://www.goqwickly.com/demos/.
	Panopto lecture capture software simultaneously records and synchronizes video, audio, slides, document cameras, screen capture, electronic white boards, and more. Record formal lectures, campus events, classroom activities, and informal presentations from your home or office. Students can pause, search, review, and add notes to lectures based on their individual learning needs. Get more information on the Panopto support page.
	Respondus enables you to create and manage exams to be printed to paper or published directly to Blackboard Learn for online delivery.
	Respondus LockDown Browser™ is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment within Blackboard. When students use Respondus LockDown Browser they are unable to print, copy, go to another URL, or access other applications. LockDown Browser™ is currently available at UNT's Sage Hall Testing Center. Get more information on the LockDown Browser support page.
	Create your own class playlist and post PDF files to your iTunes U course site. Students can download recordings and listen to them on the go!
	PBworks (formerly PB Wiki) lets you create a simple, secure Web-based workspace that supports highly collaborative class activities.
	Transform your classroom lecture into an interactive and engaging learning environment with the TurningPoint Student Response System.
	Turnitin helps students learn to cite their work properly and aids faculty in ensuring academic integrity on written assignments.
	CLEAR facilitates the delivery of videoconference based courses every semester and also schedules many non-class related videoconferences.
