A few MDE courses transitioning to D2L in summer 2013
some of you might have heard, several MDE courses in the summer will be running on UMUC's new LMS: Desire2Learn (D2L). The courses offered through this new platform are OMDE 601, OMDE 603, OMDE 610, DETT 607 and DETT 611.
The remaining summer classes (OMDE 608, DETC 630, DEPM 604 and OMDE 670) will be still be offered through WebTycho. This is part of a phased approach in UMUC's full transition to a new learning environment.
For students taking classes in D2L in the summer, they will be receiving an email around 10 days before classes start to help them get acquainted with the new environment, as well as explaining what they will have to do to access their classes.
Meanwhile, you might be interested in taking a look at how classes will look like through this new platform. To do that, you may want to visit:
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.
