D2L Boot Camp
The goal of the D2L boot camp is to focus on the basics of D2L once every month for those that need some assistance.  The first four days will be the "how" of moving around in D2L while Fridays will be reserved for questions, tips and tricks to make D2L easier to manage.  Topics that will be discussed are as follows.

?  Monday- Communication Tools

?  Tuesday- Creating Content in D2L

?  Wednesday- Creating and Managing Assignments, Discussions and Quizzes.

?  Thursday- Gradebook

?  Friday- Tips and Tricks with Q&A
You may attend as many times as needed as often as needed.  These sessions will be an hour long so there will be a lot of content to cover in a short amount of time.
This will be offered in-person and through Zoom at the same time.  Please designate which session type you will be attending (in-person or Zoom).
Class size: 14
Sessions will be offered via Zoom or in person in our Training Lab - Ed North Suite 224.
