From now on, I would like to start today’s guidance about learning management system of APU.

2. Learning Management System of APU
As a tool to support your learning, manaba and respon are currently used at APU. Through using the internet, you can have access anytime, anywhere from your computer, tablet and smartphone. In today’s presentation, I am hoping to explain when to use these two systems after your enrollment in APU. Let’s start with explaining manaba first.

3. When to use ① Check and download course materials
②　Submit your assignments
③　Take tests
④　Do group work
⑤　Check your grades of tests and assignments
In manaba, you can check and download course materials, and submit your assignments. Also you can take tests and do group work. Finally, you can check your grades of tests and assignments.

4. First, let’s log in This Paper!！！

・After the course registration period, instructors will register students as course members. If students can not see their courses, they need to contact their professors directly.
・Even if students drop courses during Correction Periods, courses might not be deleted from the students’ manaba. As long as students drop courses successfully, this doesn`t have any impact on your credits and grades.
・You can check the latest information about courses from the icons shown next to the course name. (If you have not checked or have due work, the icon will turn red)
After your login to manaba, you can check your enrolled courses through “My courses”. Courses shown on students` screen can be different per student. Based on your course registration, instructors will register you as a course member. However please keep in mind that Not all professors use manaba. Also, if you can not see your courses, although instructors use manaba in the class, you should contact the professors directly. On the other hand, courses might not be deleted from the students’ manaba although you drop courses during Correction Periods.
