Longwood maintains licenses and provides in-depth training and technical support for the following technologies.
From Canvas to Zoom, the DEC is always willing to assist students with their learning based technological needs.
Canvas is a web-based learning management system, or LMS. It is used by students to access and manage online learning materials and communicate digitally with your peers and faculty. Canvas has created a student guide to help you navigate the system and answer questions you may have.
When Poll Everywhere is used in a learning environment, it gives each student a discrete way to voice their opinions and comprehension.
Students must use a computer or personal cell-phone to respond to Poll Everywhere questions within a course setting. The student is responsible for any text-messaging rates or charges that may apply to their mobile-phone account.
Faculty who opt to use Poll Everywhere will provide students with additional information.
Zoom in an online web-conferencing tool.
As a student, you can visit https://longwood-edu.zoom.us/ and sign-in with your Lancernet credentials to access a basic Longwood Zoom account.
Zoom cloud recording is not available for students; however, local recording is available to all users.
LockDown Browser is a locked browser for use with quizzes in Canvas. It prevents you from printing, copying, going to another URL, or accessing other applications during an assessment. If a Canvas quiz requires that LockDown Browser be used, you will not be able to take the quiz with a standard web browser.
You may be required to use LockDown Browser with a webcam, which will record you during an online, nonproctored exam. (The webcam feature is sometimes referred to as “Respondus Monitor.”) Your computer must have a functioning webcam and microphone. A broadband connection is also required.
