D2L is a robust Learning Management System that we also use to manage some faculty tasks. This can be overwhelming when you are looking at your course list and wondering why you are enrolled in such a variety of course shells that are not your current-term courses. Use the table below to understand the purpose of each of your enrollments and the options you have for more tools and resources.

This is a place where you can have an entire course built and make adjustments throughout the semester that you can then copy into each new term. If multiple instructors teach the same course, a master course can be used as a central location for all course resources. | Anyone who requests enrollment and is teaching or connected to the matching live course. | Instructor | You are managing this page just as your live course page and can copy items between the two. |
