Some Shaw internet customers may be unable to access some websites (including VIULearn / Desire2Learn). Shaw is working on this issue and there is nothing that VIU can do on this end to speed the process along. Shaw is sorry for this inconvenience.
Dayna B, a lucky VIU student, is the winner of a brand new 32GB Google Nexus 7.
The Nexus 7 was the grand prize for a survey contest that the Centre for Innovation and Excellence in Learning held as part of their VIULearn (Desire2Learn) Student Orientation program.
Congratulations Dayna!

Some users are reporting intermittent issues logging into D2L and accessing D2L content. If you receive an error we suggest retrying as these issues tend to occur only 25% of the time. We are working with Desire2Learn to resolve this issue as soon as possible and will update the community once this has been resolved.
On Thursday June 27th we will be upgrading the Desire2Learn learning environment to version 10.2. The upgrade is scheduled for 6am and should be completed by 12pm at the very latest.
The latest version of 10.2 includes significant updates to the Discussions, Content, and Email tools and minor updates to the Dropbox and Gradebook tools. For a review of the changes please see this document.
