The basic functions of an eLearning class every Naropa student will encounter in the course of the semester are covered in these six points:

• Zoom,
• Online Meetings (a.k.a. BigBlueButton),
• How to access your online course,
• Downloading your class syllabus,
• Accessing materials in online sourcebook, and
• Viewing course members and sending emails from within an eLearning class. 

You can view an instructional video or text-based instruction on each of those topics when you scroll down below.

Some of the more advanced topics are covered on separate pages:

1. Discussion Forums   
2. Assignments  
3. Gradebook   

These more complex features are used in some Naropa University eLearning courses. Please contact the Distance Learning Office staff if you still need help: jirka@naropa.edu.

Zoom is a real-time video lecture creation tool not integrated in the eLearning LMS. You have received an Email from IT with your personal Naropa Zoom account information.
