D2L Course End Dates Reminder
Students, please remember that by default, your Spring 2018 semester courses in D2L are set to close on May 11th at 11:59pm (online classes will close on May 18th). However, your instructors may have manually set a different end date, so this default deadline might apply to you.

If you need access to a course in D2L after the course end date, you will need to reach out to your instructor directly. We are unable to open D2L courses without instructor consent.
Join the Innovations in Learning team!
The Innovations in Learning team is looking for two graduate students who would like to gain experience in a professional environment without having to leave campus!

Job requirements include: strong oral and written communication skills, ability to work independently for long periods of time, and experience using D2L.

Graduate students interested in applying should send a cover letter and resume to innovations@uwp.edu . Estimated start date is May 21st; you will need to be available to work on campus over summer!
Learning Tool of the Month: Forest
Forest is a productivity app that tracks your progress in a unique way. Whenever you need to focus, you "plant a tree" in the app and set a timer. Your phone will remind you not to open your messages, calls, internet, or other apps.

If you meet your goal and stay focused/off your phone for a certain period of time, your sapling will grow into a tree. If you fail, the tree dies.

Over time as you remain productive and plant trees, the app will show you a forest of every time you've been productive!

The best part is, when you spend virtual coins in the app, real trees are planted through the organization Trees for the Future.
