Learning Management System apps

Depending on the Learning Management System used for your course, you may have access to some of the course elements though tablets and smartphones. We recommend students do not attempt quizzes when using a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet, due to compatibility issues.  Below are details about the available Learning Management System apps, plus how to download, install, and configure your app.
