D2L Transitions to New Look and Feel

 

On May 17, D2L transitions to a new look and feel.  Our usual end-of-semester video for faculty features additional tips to prepare for the “Daylight” interface, appearing between the spring and summer semesters.

COLI’s D2L Semester End/Start Checklist can help you wrap up your spring semester courses and prepare you to teach in the summer or fall.

We’re continually adding tutorials to our New D2L Tutorial Video Set.  Compared to the old videos, these are shorter and show the most efficient methods of using D2L, based on faculty experience and feedback. Plus, they show new features added to D2L in the past several years.
