Where are my pronouns visible in D2L?
Pronouns are visible in a few places in D2L. If you are a student, you can see pronouns in the Classlist and when hovering over a user's icon in a Discussion Post. Instructors can see pronouns in two additional places. The first place is when grading the D2L Dropbox. Simply hover over the student's image in the upper-left corner. The second place is from the User Progress page.
Students and Instructors
Classlist: You can view pronouns to the right of the user's name in the Last Name, First Name column, if available. Note that I have selected "All" to view both the student and the instructor. |
|
Discussion Board: Simply hover over the user's icon in the upper-left of the post. When you do, a card will appear. Below the user's name, you should be able to see the user's pronouns, if available. |

Instructors Only
| Drobpox: Go to an assignment in a dropbox of your choice. Basically, go to the grade screen for a dropbox. Then hover over the student's icon in the upper-left corner. When you do, a card will appear with the student's name. Below the name, you should see the pronouns preferred by this student. |
