The Bright Ideas Webinar Series is on hiatus for the summer of 2026. We hope to announce new sessions for fall 2026 soon! In the meantime, please explore past recordings on our YouTube Playlist.
Designed for corporate training and member-based organizations, this series explores Brightspace tools that improve learner engagement, simplify tracking and reporting, and support continuous skill development. Each session includes 20 minutes of focused learning followed by 10 minutes of discussion and Q&A. New sessions will be announced quarterly. Check out our next sessions below!
