Your D2L experience begins at the D2L Login Page. Once you have successfully logged in using your ETSU credentials, you will land on the My Home page. The My Home page is the university-level landing page for D2L. The two primary components of the My Home page are Widgets and Navigation bars. Widgets are sections of the page reserved for information. Navigation bars direct you through the learning environment.
