The Content tool provides students access to your course content. Content is organized into Modules, the larger containers like weeks or chapters, Topics, the pages within Modules that contain information. Topics can be D2L web pages, Word documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, or even PowerPoint files. You can also add links to external websites, videos and other media like YouTube, etc. Students can use our assistive technology tools to access content in different ways, for example downloading ebook files, or hearing content read out loud . You can find information on all of our D2L accessibility features at Assistive Technology for D2L.
