Service

Classroom Technology Services & Support is the UC Berkeley General Assignment Classroom (GAC) AV support team. CTS provides real-time support to instructors teaching in our classrooms as well as training and consultations to prepare instructors to teach in different modalities.

bCourses Project Sites support Berkeley courses requiring an online space beyond the standard bCourses course sites. Designed to assist instructors and course-based projects, these sites provide an academics-focused collaboration area.

Berkeley DataHub is a JupyterHub infrastructure that ensures that all students and instructors share a common computing environment, data sources, and storage for their notebooks in the cloud.

bCourses is Berkeley's official campus Learning Management System (LMS), using the open-source Canvas platform. This tool provides a resource for instructors and students to enrich the teaching and learning experience. bCourses is integrated with additional academic technology tools.

Flextensions is an automated assignment extension management tool created by UC Berkeley students and faculty in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) and supported by Research, Teaching & Learning Commons (RTL).

Peerceptiv provides peer review functionality for multiple different assignment types, including peer assessments on assignment submissions, team member evaluations for group projects, live presentation assessments, and more.

Ally is a set of tools within bCourses that helps make course content more accessible and provides instructors with visual indicators gauging the accessibility of source files and assigns an accessibility score to each uploaded file.

Kaltura is a web-based video management platform that allows for the upload, editing, managing and sharing of videos and other media. Kaltura can be accessed from bCourses (Canvas).

Course Design Tools provide instructors with resources to develop pedagogically sound remote courses. This service includes the Core Template which uses bCourses’ built-in course construction and management tools including Pages, Modules, Discussions, Assignments, and Quizzes. The Core Template offers a consistent organization founded in best practices in remote instruction pedagogy that ensures students can easily access materials and engage with the course without the need for instructors to learn any additional tools.

Berkeley's Course Capture service offers instructors lecture recording services for their courses. Integrated with bCourses, recorded courses are intended to enhance the learning experience by providing a review tool for students.
