The promise of online learning has spawned a host of heavy duty classroom management software: blackboard and coursera being two of the most widely known. These enterprise solutions are designed and priced for Universities with support budgets and personnel.
Never mind the cost, the software is fairly regimented and inflexible, limiting the way that the instructor presents his/her classroom digitally. See why WordPress, with its easy set-up and open-source architecture, is an ideal fit for the adjunct instructor or the University department.
This talk leads you through former adjunct faculty member — now full-time at R.I.S.D. — John Caserta’s WordPress theme for teachers. He’ll demonstrate scores of classes that have used the theme, demonstrating its range and flexibility. You’ll learn what it takes to get your classroom theme up and running quickly, and with the control you’ll inevitably want.
