Many courses are taught using Emory’s Canvas learning management system. This web-based tool offers professors the ability to post syllabi, course content, captured lectures and assignments online and a convenient way for students to communicate both with the professor and with fellow students.

There is a computer store on campus, located on the second floor of the Barnes and Noble at Emory Bookstore, which offers academic discounts on purchases of computer hardware, software and accessories.

Students have access to both Windows and Macintosh computers in locations around the campus. The Pitts Theology Library has computer workstations and library “lookup” kiosks in the Information Learning Commons on the second floor. Students have access to the Internet, Microsoft Office applications, BibleWorks, Accordance, and flatbed scanners. There are also computer and printing kiosks in both the Rita Anne Rollins building and the Pitts Theology Library.

In addition, there are large computer labs in Cox Hall and Woodruff Library. The facilities in Cox are state-of-the-art, facilitating creative online interaction and collaboration. The Emory Center for Digital Scholarship located in Woodruff Library provides expertise, training, and support for technology-enhanced projects and the completion of digital media assignments.
