Do you have a D2L Brightspace question? Would you like to create or teach an online course? Is the Kaltura Capture app not capturing? How should you prepare a course for a QM review? Did an online student stop submitting homework? Does a student need help registering for an online course?
Distance Education & Technology Integration (DETI) can help.
Start Here
Click the Technical Support link on the eLearning@UNG (D2L) homepage navigation bar.
The drop-down menu includes:
1. UNG DETI Helpdesk Ticket (DETI Service Ticket) – DETI is the admin for D2L Brightspace, the eLearning system used at UNG.

DETI Helpdesk Ticket Tips
For most issues, the DETI Service Ticket is the best way to contact DETI.
When completing a ticket, be sure to:
provide a brief description. Is this a D2L, Kaltura, Turnitin, Blackboard, Smarthinking, SoftChalk, Honorlock, ProctorU, or Respondus issue? What’s the problem?
include a link. Copy the URL of the file or recording in D2L you would like us to look at.
provide specific information. What exactly would you like us to do? What course, module, file, is causing the problem? What type of computer and browser are you using?

Academic Alert – The instructor submits the form when a student has not responded to the instructor’s attempts to contact them in regard to their participation, missed assignments, or other needs (such as tutoring, help with online format, etc.). Our online success advisors will reach out to the student with support to assist them. Instructors are cc’d on communications and kept in the loop of options and solutions.
Note: DETI Early Alert Report merged with UNG Academic Alert. Look for the Academic Alert link in the Student Success Alert widget in eLearning@UNG (D2L).
