On this page, you will find tutorials for how to set up various administrative pieces relating to D2L as a whole and your individual course sites. This includes email forwarding, profile pictures, copying components, homepage functions, etc. Tutorials for students related to overall course functions are on the D2L for Students page.
If you are interested in merging two or more D2L course sites into one (for example, if you are teaching multiple sections of the same course but only want to manage one D2L site for them), see the Merging Course Sections in D2L considerations document.
