D2L Basics

This D2L guide will give you the basics on how to...

• Get oriented with the Main Page
• How to Submit Assignments
• Take a Quiz/Test
• Post to the Discussion board

Help! My class isn't in D2L at all.

• Did you take the D2L Orientation? Sometimes your classes will all be hidden from you until you do the lesson on how to use D2L.
• Contact your professor -- if it's very early in the semester, they might need to activate the course. Classes are not available before the semester officially starts.
• If none of the above apply, contact VLAC.

Brightspace Pulse is a mobile app for students that can help you stay connected and on track with your Brightspace (D2L) courses. It gives you one easy view of course calendars, readings, assignments, evaluations, grades, and news. 

Real-time alerts will let you know when classes are cancelled, rooms are moved, or new grades are available. The schedule view and weekly visualization enable you to view at a glance what is due today, this week and upcoming across all your courses.
