Technical help and advice
Learning technologies services are available at Macquarie to support your learning and teaching. If you need help or improvement in your teaching practice, you’ll find the support, training, and advice you need here.
iTeach
iTeach is Macquarie's online teaching administration system. Unit convenors write and publish their unit guides in iTeach and the guides become available for students on unitguides.mq.edu.au. iTeach is also used to activate iLearn spaces.
Assignment submission
To grade assignments in the iLearn environment, you will be using Turnitin – an online platform students use to submit their assignments online. It also checks submissions for elements of plagiarism. Use Feedback Studio within Turnitin for online marking and feedback.

There are several types of AV technologies used in lecture theatres, classrooms and meeting rooms. Check the room before class to find out what equipment and facilities are available. If you require help, refer to Audiovisual FAQs.
