MyLearningSpace: Laurier’s learning management system

MyLearningSpace (MyLS) is Laurier's learning management system for courses, whether they’re classroom-based or offered completely online. MyLS allows you to access course content and resources from your instructors, take online quizzes and submit electronic assignments.

Recent updates to the platform have improved the user experience, providing easier access to your courses on all of your devices. MyLS is compatible with all types of devices including smartphones and tablets, making it easy for you to access your courses from anywhere.

When will I see my courses?

Your courses will become available on MyLearningSpace on the first day of the semester: Thursday, Sept. 7.

Your course listings can be found under the grid icon. Click on the pushpins to prioritize your current courses. Scroll down to “My Courses” on the homepage and you’ll see your pinned courses in the widget. They’ll appear with course images displayed, saving you navigation time.

Not all courses use the MyLearningSpace platform – but if you are taking an online course or your instructor has identified that your classroom course utilizes MyLS, and you cannot find your course, please email myls@wlu.ca to report the issue.
