D2L Mobile Access for iPad, iPhone, Android and Other Non-tablet Devices

Primarily designed with students in mind, the D2L Mobile view provides read-only access to course News, Content items, and Grades. When logging in to D2L on a non-tablet mobile device (e.g., iPod, iPhone, Android, or Blackberry), D2L automatically redirects the session to the mobile view. Here users can:

See global and course-specific news items
View list of enrolled courses and their Content items
View course events (if the D2L Calendar is being used)
Check grades
