New Instructors~Welcome to Teaching at CCCOnline!

Today marks the beginning of week two in D2L. By now we have each become more familiar with D2L and how it operates--some of us have even made a few mistakes, or taken some wrong turns within D2L, becoming lost for a moment. For those of you who have taught in Vista or other platforms, I believe we can safely say we have become a bit spoiled at the manuvering speed this new platform affords us. We will save so much time just on the loading and opening times alone, which will in turn bring some stress relief! With that said, there are sure to be very frustrating times when we cannot remember exactly how to perform a specific operation in D2L, or when we cannot remember where a specific tool is that we need to correct a link, upload, or other to assist with other tasks. Just know that you are not alone. Learning how to function in a new environment while juggling the duties of teaching and the needs of each student can feel overwhelming at times. Hang in there! We all will be master's at the D2L process before too long. Know that your colleagues are always willing to help you. Welcome to the wonderful CCCOnline community!
