The learning method of the Department of Information Science, Faculty of Science and Engineering of Science and Engineering is e-learning via the Internet from your home computer. Log in to the LMS (Learning Management System) from the portal site (Campus Square) and register the courses you will take during the year. A few days after course registration is completed, the instruction manual, report assignments, and learning content will be released via e-learning, and you will be able to start learning. The e-learning (LMS) you use becomes a classroom, and all notices from the university are delivered by LMS.
