Stellar and LMOD for Students
On this page:
Overview
There are two course site systems, Stellar and Learning Modules (LMOD). It is possible to use some Learning Modules features with Stellar as well. The major difference from the Student perspective is the interface. You can tell which system your course is using by looking at the URL. All options allow you to access course information and depending on how your course is set up you may be able to select recitation sections, submit assignments, receive feedback, join discussions and see a course syllabus/calendar.
