Overview

 

The D2L Email tool gives you an e-mail address of first.last@billings.desire2learn.com. This is separate from you regular MSUB Outlook (msubillings.edu) e-mail address. Some instructors prefer students use the D2L e-mail for their course just to keep correspondence with students compartmentalized within each course. You'll want to let your students know the preferred methods of communication at the beginning of the course.

 

Step-by-Step

 

  1. At the top of D2L (on any page), click the Message Alerts icon and then click the Email text link.
