【Important Announcement】
APU has been using manaba as a Learning Management System (LMS) both inside and outside the classroom. However, the university has decided to start using APU Moodle from the AY 2023 Spring Semester after considering the development of learning at APU in the future as well as user-friendliness. Therefore, we could not no longer use manaba in class from April 2023. Please uninstall the respon application from your device and download, save and screenshot any data or documents you need.
respon: could not be accessed from 31st March, 2023
manaba: could not be accessed from March, 2024
APU utilizes the "Blackboard" learning management system in order to facilitate teaching and learning, communication between professors and students as well as among students and learning outside of the classroom. From the AY 2016 fall semester, we introduced a cloud-based Learning Management System (LMS) called “manaba” for use in distributing course documents, submitting reports, and managing attendance.
