Attention Brightspace administrators! We want to make it easier for you to get started using Brightspace and learn something new, so we’re building Brightspace Guided Training for Administrators. Just like with Brightspace Guided Training for Instructors, this resource will feature practical training information presented in multiple media. Although we’ve only just begun, we want to open up Brightspace Guided Training for Administrators to you as we build it to give you immediate access to learning and to give you a chance to give any feedback you have. Visit (you must be logged into the Brightspace Community)
April 2021
Brightspace Guided Training for Instructors (EN)
We are pleased to announce our first Guided Tour, "Create an Online Course"! Guided Tours are like mini-courses inside of Brightspace Guided Training that guide you through the Points of Interest topics to create a narrative that's aligned with learning objectives. They're an easier
way to accomplish a larger task, and THE place to turn to when you don't now which Points of Interest you need to visit to learn something new. Sign up for your Guided Tour today - just kidding, there's no sign up or waiting, just click "Start Guided Tour" from the Brightspace Guided
Training for Instructors homepage!
Brightspace Begeleide Training voor Instructeurs
Welkom!
We've opened up our Brightspace Guided Training for Instructors course, localized into Dutch for early access. We have a few key Points of Interest topics available and will be adding more in the coming months. So if you're curious, grab yourself a stroopwafel and visit (you must be logged into the Brightspace Community).
March 2021
Our self-paced training course goes live, and you’ve invited to explore! Coming out of early access, this course – suitable for instructors, teacher, facilitators, and course designers – contains 90 learning points of interest organized by function: getting started, communicating, publishing, evaluating and personalizing your Brightspace course. Jump straight to the learning topics that matter to you to efficiently learn what you need.
The points of interest are topics within their function categories that are organized by Brightspace tool. Where suitable, they follow a basic structure:
- Learn about this tool. Find out what this tool does and find out why it might be useful for your course.
- Create a basic version of this tool. Focus on the essentials of building
something without being overwhelmed by extra functions. These
interactives serve you the shortest path to creating as text, video, and a “try it yourself” opportunity to reinforce your new learning. - Create an advanced version of this tool. Find out what extra options you have
with your newly created tool as we present explanations of Brightspace
features rated by popularity and impact. - Edit and delete your version of this tool. Follow the steps and watch our D2L Moose show you how to fix mistakes and remove elements of your course not needed.
- Teach with your version of this tool. Learn how to moderate, manage, or
otherwise administer the learning that happens with your new creation to help you grow your Brightspace teaching skills.
We hope you find the Brightspace Guided Training for Instructors course helpful and enjoyable. Please keep an eye out here as we add more to this course and Brightspace Guided Training.
