Learning anytime, anywhere

Time and location are barriers for many students when it comes to classroom-based learning. At traditional brick-and-mortar schools, you have to organize your life around set school hours. With AU’s online and asynchronous courses, you can schedule your school hours to fit the rest of your life.

Online body

Whether you are in Saskatoon or Singapore, at home, or over the ocean on a flight, you can engage with others and never worry about missing a lecture. You can even do your assignments or draft your contribution to discussions remotely and upload once you can connect to the Internet again. You can access all of your course activities from your laptop, home computer, work computer, tablet—even your smartphone if need be. Find everything you need to read, discuss, collaborate, and submit work in one spot.

Asynchronous body

We have students and academics across Canada and around the world learning and teaching 24 hours a day. Asynchronous learning means you never need to be online at a certain date and time. You can complete your work, contribute to discussions, and ask questions of your professor at any time as long as you meet your deadlines.
