General

Does Allele integrate with my LMS?

Yes. Allele integrates with most of the commonly used LMSs on the market such as Canvas, Moodle, D2L and Blackboard. Currently, automatic grade push-back, automatic account creation and authorization via single sign-on are available.

What about accessibility?

Accessibility is a core element of Allele’s system design. Students and educators are all unique, sometimes with unique needs. As a company, Allele is committed to a continued pursuit of accessibility in all applicable aspects of the system.

Please refer to our Accessibility Overview on our Community site to learn more.

Is Allele only for medical schools?

No, Allele is not just for medical schools. While the origin of Allele is deeply rooted in veterinary and human medicine, the system was designed with the idea of supporting active learning pedagogy in its various forms. In fact, we work with many University programs that fall outside of the medical space.

If you think Allele may be a fit for your program, please don’t hesitate to reach out and inquire.

Can I share my content with my colleagues?

Yes. Sharing is, and will continue to be, a core facet of Allele’s overall design.

As long as your colleagues are also educators in Allele, you can actively collaborate on, and easily share content. Further, sharing content outside of your place of employment is also an option as long as your institution allows.

Allele is in constant pursuit of continuing the push to make open educational resources (OER) more readily available to educators.

If you are interested in releasing any of your content as OER, please reach out to us.
