Anoka Technical
College uses
Desire2Learn (D2L), an instructional management system, to deliver your online courses.
D2L contains all the course
navigation tools you will need to successfully use your ATC online courses.
Desire2Learn is a web-based learning
program designed to help students achieve their educational goals. It
provides an e-learning environment that allows students to adapt with ease
so students can focus on learning rather than the technology involved.
Desire2Learn is a fully customizable Learning Management System. It provides
the student with an alternative to the traditional classroom setting. D2L
allows the student to take courses with the flexibility of being able to do
so from anywhere with computer access.
There are three
types of online courses which utilize Desire2Learn

-
Web-Enhanced: These courses combine significant online work with
a reduced number of classroom meetings. Media Code 9.
-

meetings. Supplemental materials are provided online. Media Code 10.
