DigiPen Institute of Technology Singapore uses Moodle as the Learning Management System (LMS) for both the face-to-face and distance education courses. The LMS system is accessible by any student with access to a computer and internet connection, or a smart phone. The faculty posts the course syllabus, which includes the course description, objectives, learning outcomes, textbooks and references, and an outline of a tentative schedule, to this site. In addition, this LMS system allows for instructors to post additional material such as references, examples, rubrics and other course requirements.
The LMS provides a weekly organization of the topics covered with a matching list of outside preparation assignments, such as readings from textbooks or other references. Assignments with a submission are added to a course website, including due dates and grading criteria.
Online class sessions are conducted via video teleconferencing software, Microsoft Teams (MST) , that enables synchronous communication by video, voice, and chat, screen sharing, and shared whiteboards. Academic activities are tracked via the online Learning Management System for each course. MST also enables asynchronous text discussions, sharing of recorded videos and class sessions, and shared notebooks.
