Has My Course Offering Been Created?

It normally takes one day for requested course offerings to be created, as the process runs early each morning. There are two ways to check if your course offering has been created:

1. Log in to Desire2Learn - you will see the course offering grouped by semester and college
2. Log in to the Faculty Request Interface - you will see a "Y" for the course in the "Site Created" column

Remember that enrollment starts five days before the start date for each class.

How Students can set up iMail forwarding

The email address for all student users is their iMail address, which is their username @ imail.losrios.edu. Students who prefer to use another address can set up their iMail account to forward automatically to any email address. Here are the steps to give to your students:

1. Log in to iMail Note: iMail must first be "activated," but all that is needed is a student ID number and a birth date.
2. Click on the Preferences link on the left side of the page
3. The first choice on the preferences page is Forwarding your iMail
4. Pick a forwarding option, enter an email address and then click the button to Update Forwarding Preference

View Multiple Student Profiles

The profile/image link on the Classlist page are HTML links (not JavaScript), which means you can right-click on their image and open each profile in a new window or tab. They won't all be on the same page, but you can have them all open at the same time.

Sharing Course Materials with Other Instructors

An easy way for a couple of instructors to share resources via D2L is through a development course offering, which one instructor would create and then enroll the other as an instructor in the same course offering. (Development course offerings have no automatic enrollment except for the instructor who requested them.)

To do this, on the Employee Self-Service page there is a link to “D2L Development Course Requests.” That page has help with thestep-by-step instructions, which are basically the same as requesting an official course offering.

The course offering will be created the following morning (like official course offerings), and then the instructor who made the request can manually enroll anyone in via the classlist.

Once course materials have been uploaded and/or created inside the development course offering, any of the enrolled instructors can copy the material over from the development course offering to an official course offering.

Using the No Access Role

There is a role that can be assigned called No Access. A user with that role is visible on the classlist and can see the course offering on a "No Access" tab on the My Courses widget. However, when that user tries to enter the course all that will be visible is a blank course homepage. [VIDEO DEMO]
