iSchool LMS Information

Many courses in the School of Information Studies use a web-based teaching and learning environment called LMS (formerly WebCT). Each semester, the number of courses using LMS increases.

LMS is an instructional resource tool used in the online environment to:

 

  • deliver distance learning courses
  • provide an integrated environment for faculty and student communications outside of class using e-mail, course-specific bulletin boards, and synchronous chat sessions
  • provide an integrated environment for the distribution of course materials such as the syllabus, supplemental readings, self-paced examinations and skills exercises, and the online posting of shared student assignments
  • privately distribute student grades and grade statistics
  • provide private discussion forums for group-based assignments and exercises

 

Students can access their LMS courses at the following url: http://ischool.syr.edu/learn/

If you have any questions or need additional information about LMS, please contact Peggy Brown, director of instructional design, at ilms@syr.edu.

    
The iSchool students like a party, and will organize social gatherings periodically throughout the year, such as the annual spring iSGO party, sponsored by the iSchool Graduate Student Organization.
iSchool students, such as Dodji Koudakpo, participate in all aspects of campus life, from playing sports to creating an art show.
