About Better D2L

Better D2L turns a Brightspace/LEARN lecture page into a distraction-free, full-page PDF viewer. What it does: • Makes the embedded PDF fill the entire page, edge to edge • Auto-hides the Waterloo LEARN header/nav bar — hover the top edge of the screen to bring it back when you need it • Floats Download, Print, Previous, and Next over the bottom of the PDF instead of pushing content down • Adds a ☰ button that opens a compact table-of-contents dropdown, so you can jump straight to any lecture or unit without leaving the PDF view • Locks the page so only the PDF scrolls — no more fighting two separate scrollbars Only activates on the actual lecture/topic PDF viewer pages — your course's Overview/Home page and every other page are left untouched. Works on learn.uwaterloo.ca (Waterloo's Brightspace instance) only.
