DSO (D2L) Mobile Web

Did you realise that you can access DSO from your smartphone or tablet? Your mobile device is a great way to view your study materials. However, at this stage, most interactive tools will not work on your mobile device: such as quizzes, joining groups or submitting an assignment to a dropbox.

When you login from your tablet or smartphone, the default view is Desire2Learn's "Mobile Web" which is optimised for mobile usage. It is not recommended that you use a desktop view on your mobile device as not all functionality works on a mobile.

iOS Android
If you use Safari as your browser on the iPhone or iPad, you will automatically see the "Mobile Web" view. There are other browsers that you can configure to replicate a desktop view, but this is not recommended.
 Browsers on Android phones and tablets can be configured to behave like mobile or desktop browsers. Mobile view is recommended.

Deakin does not recommend viewing DSO (D2L) in the "desktop version" on mobile or tablet devices. This Desktop Version is not supported.
