MyLearningSpace: Laurier's learning management system

MyLearningSpace (MyLS) is Laurier's learning management system for virtual and classroom-based courses. MyLS allows you to access course content, lectures and resources from your instructors, take online quizzes and submit electronic assignments on all your devices.

Recent updates to the platform make it easier for you to engage in and access online lectures. For remote courses with scheduled meeting times, Zoom video conferencing is embedded directly into the MyLS experience. Because MyLS is compatible with all types of devices, including smartphones and tablets, you can access your courses anywhere!

When will I see my courses?

Your courses will appear in your MyLS account during the first day of term and can be found under the grid icon. To bookmark your current courses, click on the pushpin icons. You’ll see your pinned courses in the widget when you scroll down to My Courses on the MyLS landing page. They’ll appear with course images displayed, saving you navigation time.

If you are taking online or remote courses this term and can’t find them in MyLS after the first day of term, please email myls@wlu.ca to report the issue.

What course information can I access?

The course navigation bar holds links to the important tools in your course. Depending on how your instructor uses the tools, you can access things like course content, Zoom meetings, discussion boards, quizzes, grades and more.

Your instructor may include your course outline, slides, links to library readings or other course information in the content section. You can click on the course name to take you back to the course’s homepage.

What if I need help?

Student support for MyLearningSpace can be found on your MyLS landing page under the Need Help link. This section includes a helpful module that provides instruction on individual tools in the system.
