Get reacquainted with Desire2Learn

By Courtenay Alcock | Sept. 2, 2014

This fall, returning educators, staff and students may notice some changes to Desire2Learn (D2L), Memorial’s learning management system. D2L is the course delivery system for all of the university’s online courses, as well as the online component for on-campus courses.

In April 2014, DELTS (Distance Education, Learning and Teaching Support) conducted an upgrade to a new version of Desire2Learn. As a result, improvements were made to select tools, aiming to streamline the environment and make it easier to use.

For an overview of the changes and enhancements to Desire2Learn, educators and administrative users are encouraged to attend a webinar or face-to-face demonstration. DELTS is also hosting a series of drop-in clinics to assist educators and administrative users in getting acquainted with the recent changes to D2L, and in using D2L in general. During the clinics, experts will be on hand to provide guidance and address individual questions.

A full list of scheduled demonstrations and drop-in clinics can by found by visiting the events page on DELTS’ Technology Resources site: blog.delts.mun.ca/technologyresources/events/. Those not able to attend the clinics may request individual or group sessions with DELTS as well.

In addition to these events, a variety of guides have been created to assist users with specific tools and functions within D2L. These guides can be found by visiting blog.delts.mun.ca/technologyresources/.
