At NIC, fac­ul­ty and stu­dents have a col­lec­tion of three key learn­ing tech­nolo­gies to use for teach­ing and learn­ing (Bright­space, Kaltura Vir­tu­al Class­room and Kaltura Video). Word­Press is a fourth plat­form that is main­ly sup­port­ed via the OpenETC (Open Edu­ca­tion Tech­nol­o­gy Col­lab­o­ra­tive) a com­mu­ni­ty of users in BC.  Anoth­er way of look­ing at learn­ing tech­nolo­gies is through the design of a course (the four quad­rants of activ­i­ties that instruc­tors and stu­dents work in) laid on top of the NIC-sup­port­ed learn­ing tech­nolo­gies, those by the OpenETC and those beyond that are not sup­port­ed but could be poten­tial­ly use­ful.  This rubric is a help­ful in mak­ing deci­sions about which tool or plat­form to use — PDF
