Getting To Your Course Content

1. The first page you will see when you log into Desire2Learn is called the "MyHome" page. Where ever you see a link that says, "My Home" it will bring you back to this page.

   In the "My Courses" section of this page, you should see the title of your courses. Click on the course title to get to the course.

2. Once in your course, you will see the "Course Home" page. This is the opening page of the course. Where ever you see a link that says, "Course Home" it will bring you back to this page. To get to your course content, click on "Content" in the NavBar (yellow bar, top of the page).

   

3. In the "Content" area, you will see a "Table of Contents." Click on a link to access a topic. For example, to access the "Syllabus" in the image below, click on "Syllabus."

   

Viewing Content

When you click on a link to view content, it will display like the following image. You will see a "Content Map" in the left panel, and the content in the right panel.
