Things to Try if You Can’t Open a Course Item in D2L
- Check to see that you have the latest updates or at least a "reader" for the content. You may need to get the latest updates for Flash Player or Adobe Reader, etc. or get a free reader for the content (i.e. Microsoft Word reader).
- Logout, turn off your computer, then re-start it after about 30 seconds. Then try to open the media again.
- Try Saving the media to your desktop and then accessing it from your desktop file you just created.
- If you still have problems with opening the media, then contact your instructor.
