Notes:

7/27/12 Greg is making some style edits to the SharePoint entry today. Mary added this entry to Drupal to prepare for content. Tammy will add to Drupal once Greg is finished. I added "Tegrity" as the URL path name, but should it be LectureCapture instead? 11/9/12: added Teaching and Learning category; added that to this service ~ MM
