What approaches are you using for course templates or layouts in Brightspace?
We’re beginning an early exploration of using a master course shell or standardized layout in Brightspace to support consistency across online courses at my institution. I’m curious whether others are using master shells, shared navigation, or HTML templates, and how prescriptive or optional these are for instructors. If anyone is willing to share examples or lessons learned, I’d really appreciate it!

Hi @Heather.B.4264!
Thank you for reaching out to the Brightspace Community! Love this question here, we’d also be curious to hear how other administrators and instructors are approaching this and what’s worked for them.
In the meantime, you may find this resource helpful as you start thinking about course layout and consistency:
You may also want to join the Instructional Design Best Practices group if you haven’t already. Many of our Instructional Designers share practical tips there, and it’s a great space to start more focused peer discussions around course design and templates!
