Isidore is UD’s learning management system (isidore.udayton.edu). Isidore is a full-featured E-Learning tool to enhance face-to-face classes or to support distance learning courses. This is a software package that resides on a UD server, where instructors can deliver and manage a wide range of curricular content and activities.
