About Carmen
Carmen is an integrated set of web course tools that can be used to supplement a class taught mostly face-to-face or can be used to teach a course entirely at a distance (where students mostly “go to class” online using the World Wide Web with few if any visits to campus).
In addition to creating a web space for your course where your syllabus and other materials can be posted, Carmen has these and many other tools available:
- group email
- discussion boards (threaded message forums)
- live chat and whiteboard
- calendar
- gradebook
- notebook
- student presentations
- group discussion areas
- content paths with bookmarking, progress tracking
- glossary
- audio and video clip integration
- CD-ROM integration
Carmen is the primary web-based course management system supported by the Office of Information Technology (OIT) at The Ohio State University. Instructional Development Specialists and other staff at OIT will assist instructors who wish to use Carmen. There are also workshops and other opportunities to learn about using Carmen and the pedagogy of online learning through activities coordinated by the Office of Technology Enhanced Learning and Research.
Instructors can request a Carmen course account in the section “For Faculty, Designers.” This will reside on a server provided by TELR and maintained by OIT staff.
