Tools We Support

Here you’ll find a selection of tables detailing the tools that we support or recognise in Humanities eLearning. Primarily, we’d like to draw your attention to our core tools; these are our recommended software that we are committed to supporting in both the short and medium term.

Beyond the core tools we recognise a range of supplementary software that we do not manage or directly provide support for, where the primary owner of the tool is often another team within the University. Finally, we’d like to highlight a small collection of external tools that we don’t provide support for, but have proven themselves to be useful to staff and students but we do not support directly.

For an overview of what these tools do, take a look at this handy Padlet, where you’ll find examples and videos.

Some of the tools listed below must be accessed via specific browsers. Visit the Browser Preferences page to check which browser you should use for each tool.

Our Core Tools

Humanities eLearning provide support for the following core tools. These are tools that have gone through information governance approval and we are committed to providing support for in the short and medium term.

Click on the core tool names (where links are available) to visit the tool’s Hub.  You’ll find guides, FAQs and the information you need to get started.

Recognised Tools

There are tools for teaching and learning that are used in parts of campus, owned/managed by other teams or services which the Humanities eLearning team does not provide support for. These are some of them.

External Tools

There are a wide range of other (sometimes freely available) tools that have proven to be useful but that the Humanities eLearning team does not provide direct support for to staff or students.
