The MyLO Gateway page found at this URL http://www.utas.edu.au/learning-teaching-online/ will be changing its look on the evening of Tuesday the 5 th
of
February.
The Gateway will then feature New MyLO prominently, and
Old MyLO will be reduced in prominence to highlight the shift to the new system.
Old MyLO will still be accessible for staff and students if needed by clicking the “Login to Old MyLO” link on the right hand side of the page. Alternatively, you can access Old
MyLO via the direct login URL https://mylo.utas.edu.au/webct/entryPageIns.dowebct
For any questions or issues regarding this change please email: mylo@utas.edu.au
A range of step-by-step guides is available for most tools.
Many of the online resources are specific for V10.0 of
Desire2Learn. With the recent upgrade to V10.1, these resources will be updated during the week ending 8 Feb.
If you urgently require an updated resource, please contact an Education Developer to request it.
As we progress from Making the Move to MyLO to
