Publisher and Other Third Party Tools Integrations
As of March, 2015, Avenue to Learn is currently integrated with Blackboard Collaborate, Pearson MyLabs and McGraw Hill Connect. The Avenue Support team is looking at integrating with iClicker software and echo360 Lecture Capture over the next year.
Blackboard Collaborate
Our web conferencing software, Blackboard Collaborate is available through the Online Rooms tool in each course shell.
Publisher Integrations
If you wish to connect your course to electronic textbook resources through Pearson MyLabs or McGraw Hill Connect, speak to your publisher representative, then contact Avenue Support to facilitate the connection. Typically these connections take 7 - 10 days to fully configure, check and confirm that the integration works, as it is a manual process. When contacting your publishing representative, ensure that you respect the privacy and data collection policies on campus.
