Supported Teaching and Learning Technology Tools
Teachers College regularly reviews digital tools used for teaching and learning. Products are checked to ensure they meet TC’s standards for security, privacy, accessibility, and other College requirements.
Below are products that support instruction that have been reviewed by TC. There are a wide range of technologies that are licensed and supported by the College. Other products only partially meet TC standards, are not currently funded, or are not supported by the College.
Pilot programs are run for some products while they go through the TC review process. For software that is being piloted, DFI provides faculty with limited technological and financial support. Faculty members interested in piloting any of these tools should contact DFI.
If you are a TC faculty member and do not see software you want to use in class listed on this page, please contact DFI so that we can support your use of innovative technology.
These products have been reviewed by Teachers College and are supported by TC.
Products that are in the Active/Vendor-Supported category have been approved through the TC application assessment process. While these products are approved, please be aware that TC does not provide licenses or technical support for these products. Therefore, acquiring a license for the use of any product from this category will be the responsibility of the individual user or their respective department. You or your department may purchase the product licenses directly from the product vendor/website. You will also need to contact the vendor directly for technical support.
