The Halo Learn mobile app is designed as a companion application for all students and faculty using the Halo Learn Management System (LMS). The primary objective of the application is to provide near real-time push notifications for events identified by the user. This mobile app is designed to keep you connected to your Halo classroom with Halo Alerts, ensuring you stay up-to-date with the latest classroom alerts while on the go. This app is not intended to replace the Halo Learn website. Once you install the Halo Learn mobile app, be sure to enable Halo Alerts for your account by clicking on the ‘My Halo Settings’ link under the No Halo Alerts message. Students and Faculty can elect to receive several different Halo Alert messages in the mobile app. Both faculty and students can elect to receive alerts when new private messages and new announcements are posted. Halo students can choose to receive alerts when assessment grades are published, assessments are reassigned, and new group collaboration messages are posted for group assignments. Both students and faculty can expect additional alert types to be added later in the year. All alerts in Halo are opt-in, giving you the flexibility to choose which alerts to receive and on which devices. You can easily adjust your alert preferences directly in the mobile app or on the Halo website. Please note that you must have an active Halo Learn account with GCU or a GCU partner school to use the Halo Learn mobile app.
