As of 6:20pm last night, most students still do not have access to Desire2Learn. The chair of the Communication Studies Department is aware of the issue, and is actually teaching an online class this summer. All online instructors are encountering the same problem.
Thankfully, I anticipated eCampus having issues with Desire2Learn since this is the very first time it is being used campus wide. As I mentioned in a previous email, the only thing we are using D2L for over the summer is quizzes/tests, tracking grades, and hosting the content (all of the pdf files for the class). I sent all of the "Getting Started" pdf's in an email yesterday. If you did not get it, please send me an email and I will be able to forward you the "Welcome to Comm 41" email. Please check your spam, or trash folders, as the class email address might be flagged as spam or 'junk'.
Having no access, or limited access to D2L is frustrating. Most students should be able to log into D2L, but will not be able to see their classes. It is absolutely frustrating for the instructors as well. Unfortunately, while the instructors have done their part in setting up their classes, eCampus has encountered some issues loading students into their classes.
I will update you again later today.
