Welcome to self-paced orientation for Rider University’s Online Programs. This orientation will provide an overview in using Rider’s learning management system, “Canvas” by Instructure. In addition to becoming familiar with Canvas, the orientation will provide online students with procedures, offerings, and services that are part of the online learning experience at Rider.
At Rider, online courses are taught by the same professors hired for their expertise in on our campuses. Professors use the same curriculum and course materials as they do in their face-to-face classes. Students will find the same high academic standards and quality of education as a campus-taught course.
