Northern Michigan University's online learning management system.
Create on-line courses, or to simply publish materials that supplement existing courses. NMU EduCat requires minimal technical expertise on the part of the developer of the course, and on the part of the student. NMU EduCat is entirely web-based. There is no software to install (other than a web browser such as Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer) on the computers used by the students or instructors. Common areas for course design may include:
- bulletin boards
- chat rooms
- calendar
- syllabus
- testing
- instructor biography
