Course Admin

On this page, you will find tutorials for how to set up various homepage functions, etc. for your D2L course site.  Tutorials for students related to overall course functions are at the bottom of this page (and also 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.
