Wtf is Desire2Learn????
So I went on the internet from my phone to avenue.mcmaster.ca and everything looked normal.
I logged in and all the sudden I'm in this website somewhat similar to avenue, but blue ant it's called Desire2Learn?
There is an events and a news sections, but both of them are empty. The only other thing it has is a link to the real avenue... Has anyone heard of this before??

Happened to me once and I started freaking out

It's like there is two pokemon versions Red and Blue. and we are in the red version right now and this is the world we live in, but there is a different world out there that is blue version. I guess they freak out when they find the red website.

Long story short

GOTTA CATCH EM ALL

I hope that's not an upgrade to avenue. Desire2Learn? *facepalm*

Nope, just logged in. I got avenue same as ever, with all my old courses still showing up. :/

EDIT: Whoa, ninja'd, twice.

a lot of sites of a mobile phone version for easier browsing. You can click "desktop version" at the bottom of the site when browsing on mobile phones.

Yup, that's what I was about to say. I got the same thing when visiting avenue on my smartphone for the first time. It's supposed to be a more mobile friendly version but it's just soo broken. Just click the "desktop version" at the bottom, as previously stated.

I actually like the Mobile Version of Avenue. Some of the features are hidden but you can still access most of them, ie. Content, Grades.....
