See what the top 10 changes were and learn some tips and tricks for designing in version 10.3.
Assignment Grader
Have you ever been sitting somewhere wishing you had access to wi-fi so you could grade a few of your student’s assignments? With D2L version 10.3 and the new “Assignment Grader” app you can download your student’s assignments on your iPad (with wi-fi connection), travel to a “no wi-fi” zone, grade those assignments (with your iPad and new Jot Pro stylus), then sync with D2L when you return to an area that has wi-fi. Checkout Assignment Grader to see how you can make grading easier.
Course Development Assistance
CTAT instructional designers will consult with you regarding face-2-face, online and hybrid course design. Also, we will assist you with developing multimedia materials including text, images, audio, video, animation, and interactive elements for use in instruction. If you need help with structuring your Momentum/D2L course or with hosting media files please contact us at ctatmailbox@roanestate.edu or phone (865) 882-4556.
