Using External Learning Tools in D2L
Instructors may follow the steps below to enable one or more of the currently-available integrations in their D2L course. These are general instructions that apply to all available integrations, not specific instructions for each individual tool.
IT Services and the Center for Teaching and Learning support the setup of third-party integrations in D2L. Once an instructor or student has left D2L and entered the external tool, support shifts to the vendor that owns that tool. Instructors should contact the vendor for their integration directly with any questions about how to set up or use course materials or to address technical issues in the tool.
- Log in to D2L and navigate to the course where you would like to use the integration.
- Navigate to the Content tool. Choose the module where you would like the external tool link to appear.
- Click or tap Add Existing Activities, and then External Learning Tools from the dropdown menu that appears.
- A pop-out window appears with a list of available tools. Choose the one you would like to use in your course. A link to that tool will become available in the module you have selected. You can then click or tap that link to go to the tool provider and continue setting up the specific content that tool provides.
