What is Campus Pack?
Campus Pack is a suite of web-based reusable social media tools including wikis, blogs, journals, podcasts, which are used to build and implement assignments and activities.

Campus Pack is designed for educational institutions. Its organization into Course Components, Personal Learning Spaces, and Community Areas mirrors your core activities of courses; study, research, and reflection; and co-curricular activities. The Course Components anticipate the special role of instructors and include unique assessment tools, while the Personal Learning Spaces and Community Areas are designed to support learning and development outside of the classroom.

Why should I use Campus Pack?

Permissions for viewing, contributing, commenting, and tagging can be selected in any combination, and the permissions can apply narrowly or broadly—to selected individuals, a group, a course, the whole institution, or everyone in the world.
