I'm pretty sure that they mean that it will completely replace ELM by saying that. I don't think it'll actually be "fully operational", I'm sure there will be tons of bugs.

Aww, I was hoping they would go back to WebCT. It was so simple and worked fine like 98% of the time.

I think we may be better off this round (knock on wood). The system is hosted off campus in a facility that knows what they're doing when it comes to learning management systems for large universities.

I don't know why they are switching when they managed to fix most of ELM's problems.
I foresee us not being able to access online courseware till half of the term is done.

Famous last words? I think so.

CLL is having training sessions for instructors on understanding the functionality of Desire2Learn and also how to build the courses. I am working for the faculty of engineering this summer and was invited to use the learning management platform for the redesign of a course.
