Keeping Your Students Organized: The "Checklist" Tool in D2L

In the online environment, it is absolutely pivotal that the instructor be clear about assignments, deadlines, and the general expectations that they have of their students. One way to effectively communicate a set of tasks to your student population is through a checklist. D2L has a tool that allows the instructor to create and categorize checklists and then link steps within each checklist to external websites or to other tools within D2L.

Say you want your students to read an entry in their textbook, then watch a YouTube clip, then contribute to the discussion board; then you want to encourage those who need extra practice to watch a follow-up tutorial. You want to be sure that the order of all of these steps is clear and you want to add deadlines to different steps as well.  Make a checklist!
