The Fall 2015 course shells are ready for you in D2L and your instructional support team is standing by to assist you with any course (re)design and instructional technology needs.
I. Accessing Your Fall 2015 Courses
To access your Fall 2015 course(s), please:
- log into our learning management system via lms.gru.edu
- authenticate with your GRU username and password
- search for your course subject and number.
Click + to expand and x to collapse.
Example
For instance, if you were looking for the CTCM 7000, Introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine course, you’d use the “Search for courses” box at the top of your My Courses widget (shown below) to type “CTCM 7000” or “CTCM-7000”.
The Fall 2015 offerings will be preceded by “2015-FA” (i.e., 2015-FA-CTCM-7000-M Intro to Tradition Chinese Med), to differentiate this course shell from any created in previous semesters.
Tip
After you access the course once, it will stay in your list of 10 last accessed courses. If you use more than 10 course a semester, ask us how you can pin courses in place.
II. Copying A Past Course Into Your Fall 2015 Course Shell
To copy materials from a previous semester into your Fall 2015 course shell, consider the instructions available in Service Now. Be sure to start the copy process in the Fall 2015 course (rather than in your past course).
