Daylight Dawns August 17th

We are flipping the switch to Daylight on August 17th. 


D2L moose thinks Daylight is so bright he needs shades and wrote a chalkboard message asking if Bloomsburg students are ready for Daylight

The Daylight Experience is coming to BOLT to bring a new, modern, responsive design to BOLT. BOLT will display better on mobile devices and will have other user experience improvements, including a new My Courses widget.

If you want more information on Daylight, check out our student videos on our YouTube channel. We have a special Daylight playlist just for students to show you how to use the new user interface: https://youtu.be/RiUaeT04IUM?list=PLXjuCKxYK182fiunZmv-n2UyDFDIja7MG



We will also be updating our Student Support information at https://intranet.bloomu.edu/imdc-bolt-student. Help documentation will be updated to match the new look and feel in BOLT.

Congratulations 2016 Grads!

Take our advice to get the most out of your BOLT account.


Once you graduate, your BOLT account will only remain active until the semester you
graduated of the next academic year (if you graduate in December 16, your account will be
deactivated in early Fall 2017). Get what you need out of BOLT before then!

If you want to keep a copy of your scholarly work, make sure to download your submissions from BOLT assignments.

Save and download course materials.
If you want to keep course resources, download them from the course.

Export your ePortfolio.
Take your ePortfolio with you after you graduate! If you create an EduDentity account, you will be able to export your ePortfolio. Go to https://bolt.bloomu.edu and find the myDesire2Learn Access widget for more information!
