PandA
A course site for online distribution of teaching materials and student submission of assignments
Outline
PandA is Kyoto University's Learning Management System (LMS), which was introduced by the Institute for Information Management and Communication in 2013. PandA is a system for supporting daily educational practices including students' out-of-class learning (e.g. preparation and review, homework assignments and group work). PandA is also a system for facilitating better class communication.
PandA enables instructors to distribute class materials, grade and return students' assignments, conduct quizzes, and store each student' information on achievement. It also enables students to submit assignments and use the discussion forums. PandA has been extensively used in many courses in liberal arts and sciences ("zengaku-kyotsu kamoku") as well as specialized subjects ("semmon kamoku").
