This upgrade, to Desire2Learn Learning Environment 8.1, provides some new features as well as updated technical architecture.

For more information, see Summary of New Features and Known Issues in D2L 8.1

The upgrade and outage affects all UW campuses statewide (except for UW-Milwaukee). Every effort has been made to shorten the length of the outage and to ensure the outage impacts the least amount of people. We apologize for the inconvenience this causes.
