Chalk & Wire Update Aims To Improve LMS Integrations

Chalk & Wire has updated its ePortfolio Connect Server (EPCS) in an effort to improve integration of its assessment platform and major learning management systems (LMS).

Chalk & Wire's Learning Tools Interoperability 1.1-certified ECPS is designed to provide "a secure intermediary service between institutions' LMS and Chalk & Wire," according to a news release. "New EPCS features include support for universities using multiple LMS platforms, along with other intuitive functions that help improve the process of connecting various technology platforms."

Features of the update include:

  • ePortfolios that show up in the course-level student interface as normal assignments;
  • Single sign-on;
  • Improved workflows; and
  • The ability to push grades directly to the gradebook, adjusted for internal scoring and weighting.

"Saving students and faculty valuable time, the deep integration between Chalk & Wire's assessment platform and our LMS helps us offer a more seamless learning experience," said Mike Mathews, CIO, Oral Roberts University
