Frequently Asked Question

BeaconLearning is Bushnell's online Learning Management System (LMS). BeaconLearning is our branded name for Moodle. To avoid confusion, we typically refer to BeaconLearning as BeaconLearning and never Moodle. Other products in the world of LMS software include Canvas, BlackBoard and V-Campus.

Where is it?
You can find BeaconLearning directly by going to https://beaconlearning.bushnell.edu or by navigating through My.Bushnell on the Faculty menu.

BeaconLearning is hosted off-campus by a company that specializes in LMS development. If you run into a question that Bushnell IT can't answer, we can raise the question to this company for additional help and to resolve issues.
