After using software to collect and analyze the data, you can generate additional learning activities, group discussions and feedback reports. Lecture Recording System: Instructors can request the automatic recording of lectures for a course (including demonstrations or student presentations) throughout a term if they are teaching in an LRS-equipped classroom, and then make the recordings available on myCourses. Mercury Online Course Evaluations: This system allows students to complete end-of-term course evaluations online for each course in which they are registered. Faculty and authorized staff have secure access to the results, including numerical results and comments. Numerical results are disseminated to the McGill Community provided an adequate response rate has been received and an instructor has not objected to access. Educational Technologies: This group supports the effective use of myCourses and various learning technologies used by the McGill academic community in educational and research activities. To request a custom workshop, one-on-one consultation or group session for your Faculty or Department fill in the Request Form.
