WHAT IS D2L?

D2L log-in link

Desire to Learn (D2L) Brightspace is a learning management platform. Around Lakeland, we call it D2L.

For you, it’s your main source of course content, communication with your instructor and assignments.

You’ll also discover what we call learner success resources as well department handbooks, a calendar and even an exam schedule

You can access D2L by:

• Using the log-in you’ll find in the Lakeland College website from your computer or laptop [or the box above]

• Using the browser on your mobile device (tablet or phone)

• Downloading the Brightspace Pulse app from the Apple or Google store

However you choose to go to D2L Brightspace, you’ll log in with your EDU email account.

Respondus Lockdown Browser

New for Fall 2025, is Respondus Lockdown browser. It may be used for online exams in D2L.

Your instructor will let you know if they plan to use it in your class.

To be ready, install the software early, so you don’t have another stress before exams start.
