If you are new to Desire2Learn, complete the tutorial on the Distance Education web page. There is also a troubleshooting link on the Distance Education page. Click on it and make check your computer is compatible with D2L. Distance Education is providing orientations during the first two weeks of the semester. It is HIGHLY recommended that you attend.
Orientation instructions and syllabi are available as soon as D2L is opened one week before the official start of the semester. Log onto http://myvcccd.edu, click My Courses, and enter the D2L class site. Students must pass the online orientation (for each course you are taking from me) by 9 p.m. Thurs., August 22, in order to remain in the course. The reason is so that students on the wait list may be moved into the course in place of students who are not attending.
