Can you tell me about the "classroom?"

Tuskegee University instructors and faculty use a variety of methods to share materials, have students interact, and to be able to monitor student’s progress throughout the course.

One of the benefits of taking online is flexibility. A few courses may require specific log-on times for certain activities or assignments, but most courses have assignments and due dates; when the student logs on to complete them is determined by the student. Some assignments and tests may only be available for a limited time (such as a 48-hour period), so they must be completed at some point within the designed time.


What tools do I need to successfully participate in online classes?

Tuskegee University online courses are taught using the learning management system Canvas and include a variety of multimedia tools and resources. To ensure you can successfully access the multimedia tools in your courses, we recommend that you use a standard PC or Mac desktop or laptop computer with a webcam, headset and microphone. 

Courses are best viewed using a high-speed Internet connection and the Chrome browser, which can be downloaded for free online here .
