D2L Tutorial #1 – The Overview
• D2L (Desire2Learn) is the learning management
system that houses NFCC’s online and
supplemented face-2-face courses.

announcements, assignments, online quizzes,

instructors will require you to post/turn-in your
assignments via the D2L Dropbox.

introduction to D2L.
