I want to pass along a few D2L-related links created by OIT. Some of you have these in an email sent out earlier this afternoon (Wednesday, 1/7). I've pulled the links of most relevance to evening hybrid instructors and I'm posting them here.
Request your D2L Course. If you haven't already, you'll need to request your D2L course. This may seem a no-brainer, but I speak from personal experience when I say that this fundamental step can easily get overlooked in the rush to create or update a syllabus, plan lectures, devise online activities and attend to all the other details that come with the start of the semester.
A Start of Semester Checklist. Again, it is easy to overlook some of the small stuff (and the not-so-small stuff), especially if you're new to using D2L. OIT has provided a handy check list for just this purpose.
D2L Tutorials. These OIT-created tutorials can be useful for both the novice D2L user and for those of you who want to expand your use of the many features of D2L. Too, remember that D2L also provides its own tutorials which are also quite good. To access these D2L-provided tutorials you will need to be on your D2L Homepage and scroll down through your list of courses (old and new) until you find the link to "Learning D2L...."
See How Other CU-Boulder Instructors Have Used D2L. OIT has created a short YouTube video highlighting the ways other instructors have used D2L in their classes. Take a look and be inspired!
Finally, remember that I am available to consult with you on any aspect of your hybrid course. You'll find my contact information at the top of the right-hand column. My office location and on-campus availability varies, so send an email for details or to set up an appointment.
Have a great semester, everyone!
