The recommended and Supported LMS of CIA is eLearning available as an integrated service of my.cia.edu.
Faculty who would like to use Google Classroom must create a support ticket at support.cia.edu. Any other request will not be recognized.
We only recommend using Google Classroom for faculty who are comfortable performing some administrative tasks on the system.
If you choose to use Google Classroom, you will need to keep the following points in mind:
- Once you have access to Google Classroom, you will need to create your own Google Classes.
- Faculty will need to manually manage course enrollments.
- Faculty will need to post the link to the Google Site in the course site located on myCIA (this allows students to visit a central place to access their courses).
- Faculty will need to also post the syllabus in the course site located on myCIA.
- Faculty will need to post grades in the course site located on myCIA.
- Course data from prior courses on myCIA will not automatically be transferred to Google Classroom.
