CUWL Task Force on Library Integration with Learn@UW

Faculty Survey

Desire2Learn (D2L) is the UW System course management system currently employed widely across the UW System.  Faculty utilize D2L tools to develop stand-alone online courses for distance education and to create resource rich web sites to supplement campus courses.  This survey is intended to help UW System Libraries identify the needs of faculty in regards to library services and Desire2Learn.

 

1) To what extent does your D2L course include links to library resources and services?

None
Low (For example: 1-3 links)
Medium (For example: 4-7 links)
High (For example: 8 or more links)
