Technology Tips: Choose Desire2Learn Font Size

Make sure you do the GoogleDocs Tech Tip first, before you do any other tips this semester.

As a Desire2Learn user, you can change your default font preference, which will affect the way the font is displayed in all your Desire2Learn courses. You can choose the type of font and the size of the font. Many people find a larger font easier to read on the screen, while some people actually prefer a very small font size. It's also fine if you end up choosing just to leave the font at the default type and size.

Here is how to make your font choices:

• Click on My Home in the upper left-hand corner of any Desire2Learn page.
• In the My Settings box (left-hand column), choose Preferences.
• Choose the font type and size you prefer.
• Click Save.

   

That's it! You do not have to change your font size to get extra credit - it's fine with me if you want to leave your font size at the default setting. To get credit for this Technology Tip, you just need to let me know that you have looked at your Preferences and that you have chosen the font size that is best for you.

When you have chosen your Desire2Learn font, send me an email. Make sure you use this subject line: TechTip Desire2Learn Font.

When you have sent in the email, you can enter this tip on your GoogleDocs Checklist and then do the Gradebook Declaration for Extra Credit. Here is the text of the Gradebook Declaration you will complete:
