About My Home
My Home is the main entry page for D2L. It is the first page you and your students see after signing in to D2L. Like the Course Home page, this page contains a News section. However, this News section is controlled by the D2L Support Staff and is used for system announcements. Also, like Course Home, My Home provides you and your students with access to D2L's Schedule tool. You may also change a variety of preferences or use the Role Switch tool.
