The last step to creating a course in Desire2Learn (D2L) is to activate the course in the D2L library, making it viewable to students. This online training video demonstrates how to activate a course, and deactivate it once the course is ready for archiving.
- [Instructor] Once you've customized D2L modules…and added content, the final step…is enabling the course to be active…so the students can actually see it…when logging in to their own D2L homepages.…This is one of the easiest processes of D2L…in terms of steps, but finding the command…to activate can be a little bit tricky.…You start in the course administration pane…however you get there from your own D2L setup.…In our setup, we choose course tools…and then select edit course.…
Under the site's setup category here…in the course administration pane,…select course offering information.…Most of what you see on the resulting page…is informational and indicates things…like course ID and other associated data,…but what we actually want is buried right down here.…Under the heading active is a little check box…that indicates whether the course…is available for students to review.…In our case, the course is active,…but if it's not, you just tick the little check box…until it indicates that the course is active.…
You can also set start dates and end dates…
