Wondering where your upcoming courses are, or generally confused about how to get around in the updated AsULearn? Try this 3-minute video:
AsULearn is a locally customized version of the well-known open-source Moodle learning management system.
Each academic year of AsULearn (grouped Fall-Summer II) has its own server/site, as does AsULearn-Projects, which holds committee sites, development sites, and anything non-Banner-driven and/or without necessarily an end date.
- In the past, faculty most often used the Import feature within a course to bring content from past courses into current or future courses. Import still works from one course to another within the same academic year or server.
- Anytime you move content from one academic year to another, you will need to use a Backup/Restore process instead of Import, which takes a bit longer (3-15 minutes typically, depending on the size of the course). If you get a message that your course is too large to restore it to your new course, simply contact your IT Consultant for assistance.
The Dashboard is organized with:
- A block for Recently Accessed courses;
- A block, called Course Overview, contains the courses of your current academic year (which runs each fall through the end of Summer II);
- And a block, called My AsULearn Sites, with access to all other sites, including Projects/committees and past academic years, each organized in a tab.
Within each tab, you may have enough established courses that you may need to page through your courses to find the one you need.
TIP: To easily move between servers/sites in the My AsULearn Sites block, keep a tab open of your main AsULearn landing page to return to, which can act as a hub to all your sites.
New semester course availability
New semester courses are built and made available to faculty in AsULearn when they are received from the Registrar's Office and ITS:

If faculty need to begin building their courses prior to these timeframes, please contact your IT Consultant to set up a development course.
