DTU Learn - guides and support

DTU Learn is DTU's teaching platform, where you can get an overview of your courses, find course materials, assignments and messages from your teachers.

Here you can find a collection of answers to some of the most frequently asked questions from students.

In addition, a range of resources is available, including on YouTube, from the provider of DTU Learn, Desire2Learn (note that the generic name for DTU Learn is Brightspace).

All new students receive email-notifications from course announcements.
If you for some reason do not, you can sign up to be notified via email about any new announcements in your course by turning on notifications in your profile on DTU Learn. To do this, log in to DTU Learn, click on your name in the top right corner. Click "Notifications". Check the boxes "Announcements - new announcement available" and "Announcements - announcement updated".

You can change your contact information by clicking your profile picture and then 'Profile'. Under 'Contact Information' you can change your Email address.

You must contact the relevant course-responsible to get permission for this. The course-responsible will then enroll you as a "Student (no exam)" role, allowing you to access the DTU Learn course material.

DTU Learn is mobile-friendly. Using a browser on your phone, you can easily view Content, access your Grades, and post discussion messages. DTU Learn can also be accessed via an app. Go to your phone's app store and search for "Brightspace Pulse".

If the teacher hasn't activated the course yet, you will not be able to access the course. The teacher will activate the course as soon as it is fully ready. If the course isn't activated by semester-start, please write an email to the relevant teacher.
If you click a link that goes to e.g. a course that you are not authorized to access, you will get a 'Not authorised'-error.
This can happen e.g. when using a DTU Learn link that links to a course you are not enrolled in. In this case, go back to the DTU Learn Homepage.
