D2L renamed UM Learn
As of May 2015, the learning management system, Desire2Learn, has been renamed to 'UM Learn’. This change reflects and celebrates the commitment that the University of Manitoba is making in teaching and learning.
The Centre for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning, The Division of Extended Education, Information Services & Technology, and the D2L Corporation have committed to continuing their strong partnership to help support the efforts to enhance teaching and learning at the University of Manitoba.
We are excited about UM Learn and look forward to the continued success that these learning technologies will provide!
UM Learn undergoes scheduled maintenance on the second Sunday of every month between 12:00am and 6:00am. During this period UM Learn will be unavailable.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Service desk if you have any questions.

Phishing Email Recommendations
There have been increased reports of Phishing emails. We would like to remind you of precautions when it comes to unsolicited email.
1. All unsolicited emails related to your accounts should immediately be suspect.
2. Phishing emails will redirect you to an illegitimate site and prompt you for personal information.
3. You can always check the destination of the link by hovering your mouse pointer over it.
4. Never click a link in an unsolicited email instead visit the organization’s website directly by typing a known address into your browser.
5. The University of Manitoba will not ask for your password or confidential banking information via an email.
Some common themes to watch for are:
1. threats of account closure
2. mentions of "upgrades" that require changes to your account
3. "verification" of your account
4. any request for userid, password, financial information
5. request to "click a link" for anything related to email or financial accounts
6. generic wording in the salutation, body or closing signature
7. technical deception to make a link in an email appear to belong to a spoofed organization
8. use of images instead of text in order to evade keyword filters
9. Forging real websites, logos or login pages
10. The targets are often email accounts, online banking, credit cards, PayPal, Amazon, and parcel delivery.
If you receive an email that you are uncertain of DO NOT click any links. You can either delete the email or forward the emails as an attachment to Servicedesk(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Servicedesk@umanitoba.ca> for review.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Service desk if you have any questions.
