Questions About Learning Tools
Faculty teaching for The College who have questions about learning tools should contact their unit leadership first, then their Instructional Designer and/or Kena Ray in the Dean's Office.
Interested in Using a New Tool in Canvas?
If the tool you would like to use is not listed in the Canvas Learning Tool Integrations Airtable, check with your Instructional Designer and/or Kena Ray in The College Dean's Office before initiating a security review or incorporating the tool into a course.
The College Dean's Office Process for Tool Adoption
When faculty are considering learning technologies, The College Dean's Office works with them to determine whether the tool benefits students, minimizes unit and student costs, aligns with programmatic pedagogy, and supports broader technology initiatives.
The Dean's Office helps facilitate approval and onboarding by coordinating with faculty, deans, school directors, the LMS team, EdPlus when applicable, vendors, Enterprise Technology, and other ASU partners.
When appropriate, the process may also include pilot data collection using risk assessment rubrics and student surveys.

Paying for Tools
If a tool or resource is not already adopted at the enterprise level for ASU-wide use, the academic unit or department is responsible for funding and contracting course-related resources. These costs should be considered as part of the unit's annual budget planning.
The College Dean's Office does not fund instructional tools and technologies. However, Kena Ray can help guide conversations about licensing, costs, and approvals with faculty, unit leadership, vendors, the ASU Bookstore when applicable, Enterprise Technology, and the Provost Office.
Student-Pay Tools
Student-pay use is limited: Only tools and materials that provide learning content, such as textbooks, lab kits, and interactive eBooks, are approved for student-pay use.
All other non-enterprise tools must be paid for by the academic unit, except in rare cases where a tool is funded in partnership with EdPlus.
Students should not pay for facilitation or course administration tools. For example, Packback is typically not approved for student-pay use because it provides writing feedback, which is a faculty responsibility.
Exceptions must be requested through unit leadership and the Dean's Office. Contact Kena Ray to get started.
EdPlus Shared-Cost Tools
EdPlus ASU Online has a limited set of shared-cost tools, currently Peerceptiv and Gradescope, available on a per-request basis. EdPlus pays half of the license cost, and faculty are responsible for securing the remaining funding from their academic unit.
Before requesting one of these tools from EdPlus: Speak with your school chair/director and Kena Ray in the Dean's Office.
Gradescope
Gradescope is an online platform designed to streamline grading, support efficient assignment review, and provide detailed feedback to students.
Peerceptiv
Peerceptiv is a collaborative learning platform that supports peer assessment and feedback to improve student engagement and critical thinking.
