The Problem
Students aren’t struggling with your content; they’re struggling with how to access it.
- Overwhelmed by basic D2L tasks
- Missing assignments due to confusion
- Repeated questions from students
- No formal LMS orientation
The Result
- Frustrated students
- Overloaded instructors
- Lower course performance
Why This Matters
When students can’t confidently navigate D2L:
- They disengage quickly
- They miss deadlines
- They stop asking questions
- They assume they’re “bad students”
Meanwhile, instructors:
- Answer the same questions over and over
- Spend time troubleshooting instead of teaching
- Watch capable students underperform
This isn’t a motivation problem.
It’s a design problem.
The Solution
A Structured D2L Training Built
with the ADDIE Model
This training was intentionally designed to:
✔ Build confidence with the platform
✔ Reduce missed assignments
✔ Improve communication
✔ Support overall course success
Instead of overwhelming students, it gives them exactly what they need. It’s a clear, guided, and hand-on experience.
What it Teaches
Students learn how to confidently:
- Navigate course content and announcements
- Submit assignments correctly
- Access grades and feedback
- Use communication tools (email & discussions)
- Set up notifications to stay on track
Why This Works
Because it’s built around what students actually struggle with, not what we assume they need.
- Short videos (not long lectures)
- Hands-on tasks (not passive watching)
- Immediate application (not theory)
Who This Is For
Institutions looking to improve student success
- Colleges using D2L
- Instructional designers
- Faculty teaching online or hybrid courses
