Accessing ScreenPal

ScreenPal is a free software available to instructors as well as students. The free version, however, provides access to only some of the powerful tools the product offers. Memorial has procured a limited number of educational ScreenPal licenses for use by instructors, and CITL will be administering these licenses on behalf of Memorial. For details on obtaining a licensed version of the tool, click on the menu items below.
