Manhattan Support

The Manhattan Virtual Classroom is a course management system. Manhattan can be used to add an online component to a traditional face-to-face course, or it can be used to support distance learning courses that only meet online.

Manhattan is a web-based application. Teachers and students use any modern web browser (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox) to login to their virtual classrooms. When you login, you will be entering a private environment where you, the teacher, can:

• Provide your students with handouts, notices, lecture materials, interactive self-tests, and web sites to visit.
  
• Assign homework for your students to complete, receive the work they do in response to those assignments, and provide feedback.
  
• Issue multiple-choice, True/False, and short answer exams.
• Issue more involved exams where the students are expected to do their work offline, and submit their responses in the form of a word processing, spreadsheet, or other type of file(s).
  
• Exchange private messages with your students.
  
• Host discussions with the entire class, or with teams of students.
  
• Keep students apprised of their grades.
  
• Issue surveys to your students and collect the results.
  
• Engage in live online "chats" with your students.
• Publish Podcasts that your students can receive using iTunes or other Podcasting software.
  
• Track which students are using the system and when.
