The University of Colorado’s faculty and administration is discussing options for improving their online learning system after recent outages kept students from completing assignments. The system, Desire2Learn (also known as D2L), has been unreliable this semester. The company’s attempt to upgrade caused several outages over the past three weeks, affecting hundreds of institutions worldwide. Last week, an outage left students and faculty without access to the site for nearly three days. The problem was fixed and all customers were up and running by Friday, said Virginia Jamieson, D2L’s senior director of corporate communications, in an email Monday. Jamieson was not available for further comment on Monday.
