Online Learning

UBC VPN

    • A VPN is sometimes needed to access library databases and other UBC resources. You may need these resources to study and complete projects throughout the program. Once your CWL ID is set up, you can install the UBC VPN using the instructions here.

canvas

Your MM courses will each have a site on UBC's Canvas. Your instructors may use Canvas to communicate, share course materials, and assign learning activities for you to do.

Zoom

For at least the beginning of your program, all courses will be taught on-line via Canvas. Many instructors will be using Zoom for real-time teaching. You do not need a Zoom account to attend lectures, but you will need to install the Zoom application. If you don't have it already, you can do this ahead of time or follow the prompts when you join your first Zoom session.

navigating online courses

Education at UBC is undergoing unprecedented change. You, your instructors, and peers are all figuring out how to teach and learn in a fully online environment. This transition comes with natural challenges and means your learning may not look or feel like what you expect.

Know that you are not alone in navigating these changes. UBC is an exceptional community doing all we can to support one another. The Keep Learning website compiles resources to help you set up, learn effectively online, understand the technologies used at UBC, take care of yourself, answer questions, and get support in this new context. You can also share what your online learning experience has been like, so this resource can improve.

Libraries & Research

During the MM, the library that you will most commonly use is the David Lam Management Research Library (Business Library). The David Lam Library is open virtually and librarians and staff are working remotely to continue to support the UBC Sauder School of Business.

  • Email Research Help: lam.ref@ubc.ca

In getting your cards printed, each print shop may have a specific format that your file needs to be in. It is best to check with them prior to going to have cards produced.

A suggested local print shop that you are able to order your business cards through is the Made to Print shop and they do have specific format requirements so contact them in advance!
