  • What is Learn? Why should I use it?

    LEARN is SUSD's Learning Management System. Basically think of it as a digital version of your classroom, or a place where student can connect directly to a variety of web resources which you create and manage.

    A LEARN course page has three main areas; the Header Box along the top of the page, Topic Folders which are arranged below the header box, and Content Blocks which live along the side of your course page.

    Q: How might these different areas within a LEARN page correspond to different areas within a typical classroom?

  • Launching Your LEARN Class

    • Click here to go to the LEARN Course DEMO folder

    • Select a Course Page that DOES NOT have a name associated with it (e.g. "NTO Copy 1")

    • Enter the Enrollment Key provided for you by your Trainer to log in to the course as a teacher.

    • Remember to change the name of your course right away so that others will know that the course has been claimed.

    2. Click on the "Add a Block Menu" to select the block you're looking for

    3. Once the block has been added, you can move it to a different location by dragging with directional arrow icon or detete it by clicking on the red X.
