SoftChalk License Information

SoftChalk Cloud is a program that allows faculty to easily create professional-looking, interactive lessons to upload into their online classes. SoftChalk Cloud content resides online in a SoftChalk Cloud account rather being uploaded into the Learning Management System (LMS). If you decide to host your content in SoftChalk Cloud rather than in the LMS, it is highly recommended that you also keep a local copy using SoftChalk Create Local Launch.

NOTE: It is NOT necessary for Adjunct instructors to all have their own individual SoftChalk accounts. Only the Lead-Faculty (Course Preparer) will need a SoftChalk Account to build the courseAll SoftChalk links placed into the master course will be able to retrieve grades from SoftChalk to D2L for all adjunct-led courses.
