Learning Environments

Registered students in online Penn State courses need to navigate among several environments in the World Wide Web. These include:

• Canvas: Penn State's course management system allows registered students to consult course calendars, communicate with instructors and fellow students, submit lab assignments and project reports, receive individual project critiques from instructors, take online quizzes, and check assignment scores and course grades.
• Zoom: Penn State's web conferencing software allows registered students to communicate and collaborate through online meeting rooms. Zoom provides chat, audio and video conferencing, and screen sharing.

NOTE: Only students who are registered for this course will have access to Canvas and VoiceThread elements for this course. Students who register for this Penn State course gain access to assignments and instructor feedback, and earn academic credit. Read more about Penn State's Online Geospatial Education programs.
