How to Access D2L Content!

I don't know if anyone else has tried to access the assignments on D2L and failed, but for those of you who need to have the assignments RIGHT NOW, I have a tip. Click the file. It should download as a .zip file. If your computer automatically unzips this folder, you will find that it is full of files your computer cannot use. In fact, you should just delete the unzipped folder, as it basically took the document apart when you unzipped it. Go back to the zip file, and change the extension from .zip to .docx without worrying about messages that you receive about changing the file type. Normally this would be a bad thing, but we are just changing the file back to the type it is supposed to be here so there is no need to worry. Once the extension has been changed to .docx you should be able to double-click it and view as a normal file. Hopefully the D2L problem will be sorted out soon but in the meantime there is a solution!
