Welcome to the EdTech Hub
Educational technologies, or EdTech, are digital technology tools used to deliver and facilitate learning, learning activities, and aid in creating or disseminating content. The EdTech Hub pulls together information regarding our centrally supported EdTech tools to help you decide which EdTech tool(s) may suit your use and how or where to get support.
Centrally supported means that the University provides funding and/or resources and technical support toward the tool, and that appropriate due diligence has been completed to ensure the tool meets privacy, security, and accessibility requirements.
