Why to use this service |
Compass is the Enterprise Learning Management System for the Urbana campus. Compass provides an online learning environment for students. It also provides organizational spaces and storage to allow various organizations, groups and units across campus to collaborate and host basic online web spaces. Our environment allows students/staff/faculty mobile access to their spaces on Compass which includes the ability to check grades, turn in assignments, communicate with peers and download documents from their storage space. 93% of students on the Urbana campus have at least one course on the Compass system. In Fall 2013, 70% of all courses taught on campus were also hosted either as a blended learning environment or totally online environment. |
