TheĀ courseĀ shellsĀ in D2L are ready for faculty access.

- Create attendance records (instructions)
- Check out the Virtual Classroom! Allows you to host an interactive session/class remotely (with presentation, whiteboard, chat, video and audio), host virtual office hours OR host facilitated discussions, text/assignment prep. Check out the details! (instructions)
All D2L help and tip sheets are located right on theĀ D2L homepage.
If youāre logging in to D2L for the first time or for the first time in a while, you might notice what appear to be some significant changes. Donāt panic! This is an update that is almost exclusively cosmetic. The functionality of D2L and the tools we use remain intact.
The most pressing issue is that you might not see any courses listed when your first login. Donāt panic! All you need to do is āpinā the courses that you access most often. To do this, simply click āView All Coursesā and then search by name and/or course number. To pin, hover over the top right-hand corner of the course tile, single click on the three white dots, and then click āpin.ā Now that itās pinned, it will be there at the top whenever you login.
Have a great semester!
