Using Learning@Griffith for teaching:

Learning@Griffith can be used to:

  • make lecture notes and other documents available for students to download
  • post announcements (e.g. information on upcoming classes, room or timetable changes, reminders about assignments or special events)
  • allow students to communicate and collaborate amongst themselves using Discussion Boards and online group spaces
  • provide access to Lecture Capture recordings
  • create and deliver online tests, including online exams
  • handle online assignment submission, allowing students to submit assignments easily from on or off campus, and allow you to mark assignments online
  • disseminate marks and feedback for assessment items

If you wish to use Learning@Griffith, a course site will be available for your course automatically - you do not need to request that a space be created.  Each new cohort of students goes into a new course site, so that students who have taken the course in previous teaching periods can continue to access the site they were enrolled in without affecting the current teaching period.

Learning@Griffith Help in Canvas

We have a brand-new help website for the new LMS Canvas, with access to further support from 24/7 call and chat lines.

Getting started

Getting course material online

You can do all of the work on your Learning@Griffith course site yourself. There is training offered to assist you in learning how to use Learning@Griffith effectively.

If your course was developed by Griffith University Educational Designers and web multimedia developers, you may be eligible for the course maintenance service provided by your School.  Course maintenance is a content update service offered to clients with existing Learning@Griffith course websites that have been professionally developed at Griffith. Upon request, we can update course content, dates, links, and teaching staff information in the course site.  To find out more about these services, please contact us.

Each trimester or teaching period

You need to be aware that every trimester you will have the option of copying course content from a previous trimester into the new course site, or beginning again with a blank course site. All teaching staff should check Learning@Griffith before the trimester begins to ensure that correct and current course materials are present. If you need assistance or clarification of processes, you can contact us.

Preparing a course site

Our guide on preparing a course site aims to make getting your course ready for teaching as efficient as possible. The order of the steps is designed to minimise the risk of technical errors occurring for you and your students, thereby reducing the workload associated with course management and administration.

For information on when course sites are created in Learning@Griffith and when students gain access to them, visit our Course Availability support page.

For information on how you can gain access to a course site as a staff member, visit our Access support page.

Assessment tools

Teaching staff assess to test student knowledge, measure student progress and gather information. There are a number of assessment tools available within Learning@Griffith.

  • When preparing assignment submission points for students, ensure you always check your course site and course profile for assignment submission information that has previously been communicated to students.
  • If you are choosing an appropriate tool for submissions, refer to our online assignment submission options.
  • Other tools can also be used for assessable tasks - for example, Blackboard Collaborate for conducting presentations with online students - but using these options require the instructor to create the appropriate columns in the Mark Centre. You might like to look through the list of Communication and Collaboration tools for alternate assessment options.

Lecture capture

Lecture Capture technology allows you to record sound and screen content of a presentation and make it available to students as a learning resource on a Learning@Griffith course site.

The Lecture Capture Service can be used to capture teaching activities in a number of ways. Lecturers can:

  • use one of our many Lecture Capture venues to record in-class activities
  • record presentations using the Echo360 Universal Capture software that can be installed on a computer for recording in-office or at home
  • upload recordings made using other software or equipment, including the Create your Own video studio
  • run Active Learning presentations that allow students to be more involved with the lecture content

Echo360 (Active Learning Platform)

The Lecture Capture Service is delivered using:
