For Faculty

Orienting Students to D2L

Each semester, all new students are encouraged to attend an online D2L orientation session. However, some students may not be able to attend and therefore may be very unfamiliar with this digital landscape. It is important that students understand how your course will utilize the digital tools available.

Check out our Orienting Students to D2L page to find out more

Getting Started Checklists

The checklists below are provided to help you get up and running quickly. These are overviews of the tasks you should consider taking to prepare to teach your first classes.

If you have any concerns or questions about your D2L course please reach out! Use our TDX ticketing system to book your consult.  

Getting Started Checklist for New Faculty

Welcome to Camosun! 

As a brand-new faculty member, you will receive quite a bit of information in your first few weeks. One important communication you will receive is a welcome email from one of our eLearning Instructional Designers (ID). We encourage you to connect with that individual for an orientation session for D2L. This can be a full overview or a refresh if you have previously used D2L.  

We are here to help you throughout the term so please reach out!   

The checklist provides an overview of some essential tasks you need to complete as you start your teaching journey. Click Getting Started Checklist for New Faculty to access the PDF version of this checklist.
