Academic Technology Tools

Grackle is an accessibility tool that helps you create and check more accessible course content in Google Workspace. It scans Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets for common accessibility barriers and provides guidance for fixing issues directly within your file.

Use Harmonize to create course activities where students can discuss ideas, annotate readings, share media, provide peer feedback and respond to one another's work. Harmonize connects with Canvas and offers several options when you need more than a traditional discussion board.

Use Yellowdig to create ongoing course conversations where students can share ideas, resources, questions, and responses with classmates. Yellowdig connects with Canvas and can track participation throughout the course.
