Moodle (DMin only) and Canvas are the campus learning management system (LMS), used by instructors and students as the online hub of instructional activity. Students use them to manage their course requirements, find course materials, submit homework, assess their course progress, and communicate with instructors and classmates about course assignments and requirements. Both platforms can be used to supplement in-person lectures, or to manage blended/hybrid or fully online courses. They are hosted in the cloud, and work comfortably on mobile devices.
There may be reading and/or other assignments required prior to the first night of class, therefore we recommend you purchase your textbooks as soon as possible.
Textbook information can be found in the syllabus (find your class in GTU-M or Canvas), or on the bookstore website. Speak to the Dean’s office if you have questions about your textbooks.
Spend some time getting to know our Student Resources page with helpful links to navigate your journey, including:
