What is Cardinal Learn?

For Students

Cardinal Learn is your personal academic dashboard. Instead of keeping track of paper handouts or digging through emails, you go here to:

• Access Materials: Download your syllabus, readings, and lecture slides.

• Submit Work: Turn in assignments and take quizzes or exams online.

• Track Progress: Check your grades and view feedback from your professors.

• Collaborate: Use discussion boards to talk with classmates or join virtual "office hours."

For Faculty

Cardinal Learn is your course command center. It allows you to organize and deliver your curriculum in a structured, consistent environment. You can use it to:

• Distribute Content: Post all course materials in one secure place.

• Automate Grading: Use the built-in gradebook to calculate totals and provide private feedback to students.

• Communicate: Send announcements to the entire class simultaneously.

• Ensure Integrity: Utilize integrated tools for plagiarism checking and secure testing.
