Learning Management Systems (LMS)

The University implemented the Brightspace platform by D2L (branded Nexus) as the LMS software application for the online delivery of course materials/content. Nexus supports a range of teaching models from hybrid or blended delivery to fully online courses.  Nexus is also used to deliver institutional training for the University Community.
