BrightSpace Training

Brightspace training is being provided to all faculty in phases throughout the spring and summer. By September 1, when Blackboard is officially turned off, all faculty and their courses will have been transitioned to Brightspace. Faculty who have not yet been trained may contact their Chair to confirm when their training should take place.

Some of the topics we'll cover in the trainings are: 

  • Getting started on Brightspace
  • Brightspace Assignments & Quizzes
  • The Gradebook
  • Discussion Boards & Grades
  • Content Creation
  • Communicating with Students on Brightspace
