Learning Environment

The iPad Learning Center is a learning environment custom developed for the new Apple iPad. With the learning center, your very own backyard, your living room, the doctor’s office...all of these places become your classroom. These ordinary locations become extraordinary as you transform your career and achieve your goals.

Easy Access:

No matter where or when, you’re never more than a tap away from the learning environment, your coursework, instructors, fellow students and support.

Clear Organization:

All courses are organized so you won’t go searching for materials or assignments. Course organization is standardized for streamlined navigation and ease-of-use.

Ultimate Flexibility:

Weekly units and assignments provide structure to keep you engaged and on-task, while the iPad gives you the freedom and power to make your own schedule and learn anywhere, anytime.

Supportive Environment:

Whether you’re stuck on an assignment at 9 pm at night, or up early posting an answer to a discussion question, you can easily see who in your class is online at any given time. Reach out, connect, learn and continue your academic and career journey with encouragement and support available at all times.

Self-Contained Experience:

Almost everything you need to be successful in your courses is contained in the Empowered App. Use Facetime on the iPad to communicate directly to fellow students and instructors. Even get notified about an upcoming assignment, or receive an instructor announcement, directly through the notifications on the iPad.

Quick Learning Curve:

Easily attend and navigate courses – once you take one course, you'll be familiar with how all the courses run.

Education & Career Networking:

You will interact with people as passionate as you, who are here to be successful, get ahead and make a difference in the world. And you get to take this education and career network with you for life.

Emphasis on Career:

Positively impact your career with the real-world focus of UCLA Extension, and the high quality and engagement of hand-selected instructors.
