About the Digital Tool Hub
This Digital Tool Hub is a space for faculty, staff, and students to find and explore recommended, approved, and supported tools available to them and provide a space for innovation in teaching and learning.
For Faculty it is a resource to make a more informed decision when looking for a change or a new tool for their courses around consistency, accessibility, cost, privacy, and other key factors that affect the learning experience.
For Students it is a resource to find what digital tools are already available to them. These can help students in their studies, coursework management, and other needs they may need for their activities at Lane.
For help desks it provides a tool to identify and communicate recommendations that will be:
- More consistent with what’s already in use.
- More informed on what is the best choice for accessibility, cost, security, privacy, etc.
- What is already approved or recommended by different parties at the college.
Tools recommended in this catalog are reviewed for various aspects to ensure high-quality recommendations such as trustworthy sources, user reviews and feedback from external sources, security, and other indicators shown in our Digital Tool Rubric.
