What is D2L?

I sign into Office 365 on my browser (on my Mac). I used to be able to choose to stay signed in, but something happened and now I get automatically signed out every night. And yes, one time I chose the 'Don't show this message any more' option, but I did NOT turn off the option to stay signed in. Only the message that gave me the option.

An Introduction to Navigating D2L Brightspace for Families

Multiple Students using a Single Device

In households where multiple students need to log into D2L on one device, try these options to allow two or more students to be logged in to their classes at the same time. This will help reduce the number of sign-ins needed and make accessing D2L classes easier and faster for students.

Option 1: Designate a different browser for each student in your family

The most popular, compatible, and secure web browsers include Google Chrome, the new Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera, and Vivaldi.

If students prefer to stay signed in, try designating one browser per student in your family. Below are download links for each browser:

RECOMMENDED
Google Chrome

RECOMMENDED
The new Microsoft Edge

RECOMMENDED
Mozilla Firefox

Apple Safari (Mac, iOS only)

Preinstalled on all Mac and iOS (iPad, iPhone) devices

Option 2: Use Private Browsing

Beaker browser android. If you prefer not to download multiple browsers, try using your favourite browser’s “private browsing” mode in multiple tabs. Click the link to your browser below for specific instructions. Note: with this method, closing the browser/tab will require the student to log in again each time.

Sending files for print has never been easier using HCDSB’s OneDrive. OneDrive is a service provided by your HCDSB Office 365 account which allows for secure and unlimited file storage. It among other things, it allows for easy sharing of files between employees and the general public.

In this tutorial, we’ll be creating a document for printing, then setting up a share link which we can use to share that file with Print Services.

You can do this multiple ways – however we’ll be using the web-based version of OneDrive, as you can do it from home or work.

Step 1: Save the file in your HCDSB OneDrive account

NOTE: You may skip this section if you are already saving files to your HCDSB OneDrive account.

1. Visit https://hcdsborg-my.sharepoint.com/ and log in with your Board credentials if asked
2. Navigate to where you’d like to save your file (in a specific folder etc) and save the files(s) there by either dragging and dropping the files into the window from your computer, or by using the Upload Files button. If you have multiple files to add to this print job, it is best to create a special folder just for these files as you can just share the whole folder later.

Step 2: Share your file

1. If you are not already there, visit https://hcdsborg-my.sharepoint.com/ and log in with your Board credentials if asked
2. Select the file or folder you want to share and click the Share icon
3. Click on the “Only the people you specify who have this link can edit” and select “Anyone with the link”
4. Uncheck the “Allow editing” (we don’t need to let anyone edit this file for now)
5. Note that the link will expire in one month by default – this should be fine. You can adjust it here however if you wish – ensure that you give enough time for Print Services to process the file
6. Click Apply
7. Click on Copy Link to copy that link to your clipboard, where you can paste it into your print job request when asked

Now that we’re done, a few notes

A share link is not the same as a regular link to a file. A share link contains all the information required to authenticate and alllow that file to be accessed by anyone who clicks the link. In addition, a share link expires automatically after a specified date (by default, after 1 month). So after two weeks, that link will no longer allow other people access to the file (but the file will still be there for you to use normally).

Using what you’ve learned above, you can see how this can apply to your work file by allowing you to easily share content between co-workers (although instead of using the “anyone with a link” option, you may wish to specify specific people. You can also allow editing if you wish to collaborate with a document or folder.

Want to take it to the next step? Share a Word, Excel or PowerPoint document you have with staff – did you know that multiple people can edit the file online using OneDrive at the same time? Talk with your school tech if you’d like one-on-one training or to arrange some group training on using OneDrive / Office 365 effectively.
