Desire to Learn (D2L) Basics

 

Microsoft

  • Outlook Web Access

This department does not manage the OWC Student Email System, but we've produced a few video tutorials to help familiarize you with the web version of Outlook.

  • Resize and Convert Images

In this tutorial, we use Microsoft Picture Manager to resize and convert images to a format that can be used in web pages. Available in printable format only.

  • Convert clipart from WMF to GIF

If you get your images from Windows Clipart Library, you'll often find yourself with hard-to-use .wmf files. This tutorial shows you how to convert those images to .gif so that they can be used in applications such as FrontPage.
Available in printable format only.

  • Zipping a Website

This tutorial shows you how to put your entire website into a zip file that can be more easily uploaded into your D2L course. Available as a 2 minute video or a 16 page series of screen shots in FlashPaper or PDF format.
