Discovery
Discovery is the service powered by D2L Brightspace that Asbury uses for online class management. Students taking online classes will find all of their course content, assignments, syllabi, etc. on Discovery. Many professors teaching in-person classes also use Discovery to upload their syllabi and provide a place for online submission of assignments. As a student at Asbury, you will want to frequently check Discovery to stay up-to-date on your classes.
The Basics of Using Discovery
All online courses will use Zoom for virtual class sessions. Please see the link below for more information on using Zoom for your classes.
