My institution has a Learning Management System that is not listed. Can a SoftChalk lesson be loaded into my Learning Management System?
Yes. The easiest way to put SoftChalk content into your learning management system is with a hyperlink. With a SoftChalk Cloudaccount, you can easily create lessons and save them to SoftChalk Cloud. Once you've saved a lesson to SoftChalk Cloud, you can copy the hyperlink to your lesson and then paste it into your learning management system.
