Please notify your faculty if you have the following issues:

  • you don't have a computer
  • you have limited internet access or a slow connection
  • you have some other issue limiting your engagement in online learning

Use phones and tablets

Phones and tablets allow you to access course content if you don’t have a computer or laptop. Get the app for D2L. You can use Outlook 365 on your phone along with WebEx and Microsoft Teams—just download the app and use your AU email address as the Outlook 365 email address.

Be aware you might not be able to see everything on your screen though, and your data plan will impact the quality of your interactions.

Explore D2L

You are probably somewhat familiar but do a quick review and refresh your memory. Look here for student FAQ. Ask your instructor if you have questions.
