Below are just a few examples of how teachers have used Haiku LMS to structure sites for their classrooms, extracurricular activities, programs, newsletters, professional development, and more. Many thanks to our partner, the Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township (MSDLT), for providing examples of the exciting ways Haiku LMS can be used.
If you are using Haiku LMS in exciting and innovative ways, please let us know!
Developed by Barbara Pace, these classes are examples of both the varieties of content that Haiku LMS supports and the flexibility in how you can organize your online class.
The Quik-Start classes below illustrate five ways to organize your online class. It's really up to you and the role you want your Haiku LMS class to play. Will it simply be a resource site for students, or will it house a significant amount of your course content and activities?
If you'd like a copy of any of the above Quik-Start classes to use as a starting point for your own Haiku LMS class send us an email. We're happy to share.
Also developed by Barbara Pace, the classes below represent samples of the various types of information and content you can include in your Haiku LMS class.
