LearningSpace is a Web-based learning system designed for both self-paced and instructor-led classes. All online work is done through your browser. The LearningSpace server stores your enrollment status and coursework progress.

To view the courses in which you are enrolled, click the Courses button. Your actual assigned work consists of activities such as reading, simulations, and tests. Launch an activity by double-clicking its icon. If the activity is self-paced, read the screens associated with the activity and follow the instructions provided. Typically, some form of assessment is part of a self-paced activity. If the activity is collaborative or interactive, double-clicking its icon launches the LearningSpace Collaboration module. You will be prompted to log on again with your LearningSpace user name and password to participate in collaboration activities.

LearningSpace provides two types of Collaboration activities: online discussions and Live sessions. Online discussions allow you to post comments in a forum where classmates can read and respond. You can respond to their comments, and optionally initiate chat sessions with one or more classmates. Live sessions take place in the Virtual Classroom, where your instructor can present materials in the form of drawings, text files, URLs to visit, shared applications, and question-and-answer sessions.
