In January 2013, Desire2Learn will become Georgia State University's central learning management system. The new system will replace uLearn, Georgia State University's current Blackboard/WebCT learning management system.
Desire2Learn will be hosted and maintained by the University System of Georgia (USG). The university will work with the USG to provide a smooth transition to the new system, including training, support resources and assistance with content migration.

- The integration of social learning tools, such as wikis and blogs.
- Access from mobile devices, such as the iPad and iPhone.
- An easy-to-use and flexible grade book that you can customize to fit your individual course.
- An efficient and extensive calendar tool that allows you to create, print, and view a clear timeline of course events in a single environment.
- The ability to easily upload multiple files at once.
- A flexible toolset that allows for expansion as technology evolves.
