Preparing for the Semester
How will I participate in the courses?
Your instructor will notify you when you have access to the course in D2L and Teams.
FLT courses are asynchronous but highly interactive, and they all offer opportunities to interact in real time. Our learning management systems is D2L Brightspace, and we also use Microsoft Teams and other collaborative tools extensively.
