It's that time of year again...

Now is a good time to request your spring Desire2Learn course from OIT.

- To submit a request to create your D2L course, you will need to go through MyCUInfo. Log in at MyCUInfo, then follow these steps linked to here.

** If you do NOT see your fall course within your Faculty Tool Kit, be sure that you have selected the correct term (Spring 2013) at the top right. If you have content within CULearn that you would like to migrate into your D2L course, be sure to specify this during your course request. There is currently a delay of up to two business days from when we submit our request and when we can access the course. Once your D2L course is created, you will simply go to https://learn.colorado.edu/ to access it.

- D2L has a lot of functionality. There are two ways for us to practice using D2L on our own: OIT's D2L faculty workshops, schedule available here; and OIT's online tutorials, access instructions available here.

- In past posts, I have elaborated on a few D2L tools that I am using in my own course such as the Checklists and the Discussion board (see below). But there us much more that we can do within D2L.
