Carmen is Ohio State's Online Learning Management System. Carmen is used by instructors, staff, and TAs to create and share materials. Carmen automatically creates blank course shells, complete with a class roster and a set of course tools, for every course in the Registrar's Master Schedule. Course instructors choose if and when to activate them. Carmen saves faculty time and students love Carmen, too. To access your Carmen courses, go to carmen.osu.edu and log in with your OSU Internet username. For more information, go to carmen.osu.edu and follow the link for instructors.
