Desire2Learn - D2L

Desire2Learn (D2L) is a course management system that is used for students enrolled online courses. Many instructors in face-to-face and web-enhanced courses use D2L to provide course materials to their students online. Unless designated as an online course, some courses may not be listed on D2L. Instructors have the option of requesting that their course be available online.
