Tegrity, a course capture system, was implemented at Saint Michael's College in 2009.  Since then, this new technology has taken off and is being used by 40+ faculty and many students representing a wide-range of disciplines.  This session will touch upon the implementation/recruitment process of this tool and focus on how it is being used to enhance language learning in and out of the classroom for our Modern Languages Department and for our Intensive English Program. Participants will also learn how we regularly use Tegrity in the Language Learning Resource Center as a training and documentation tool.
