In addition to the preset roster, Desire2Learn (D2L) also lets instructors or administrators manually add users to a class list. In this video, Alan Ackmann demonstrates how to locate new users and add them to your D2L course roster.
- [Instructor] When most instructors long into D2L,…they'll see a pre-populated roster of students…which has been synced with the school's enrollment database.…Sometimes though, you need to manually add students…or perhaps an outside party, like a teacher's aid…or department administrator.…Adding a new user starts here in the Classlist tab.…Which lists all users and their rolls.…In the upper left hand corner,…select the drop down command for add participants.…You'll see several commands,…the first is to add existing users,…which means you can add users that already exist…in your school's enrollment database whether they're…associated with your course or not.…
The other options are to create and enroll new users…from scratch or import them from a file on your computer.…Those two options aren't always available though,…so we'll demo add existing users here.…Give that command a click and you'll be taken…to the add existing users interface.…The top half of the interface allows you to set…the default enrollment status for anyone…
