Fall classes are almost here. Is Brightspace still hanging out on your pre-semester to-do list?
Whether you need a guided introduction to Brightspace or just want someone to help you troubleshoot the one thing that isn’t working the way you expected, CETAL has options to help you get ready.
Want a guided walkthrough? Choose Training.
Brightspace Introduction Training is a hands-on, two-hour workshop for faculty who are new to Brightspace or would like a refresher before the semester begins.
We’ll work through the essentials you need to prepare and manage your course, including:
- Organizing course content
- Creating assignments and quizzes
- Setting up and using the Gradebook
- Communicating with students
- Working with visibility, availability, and due dates
Tuesday, August 18
- 9:00–11:00 a.m.
- 1:00–3:00 p.m.
- 5:00–7:00 p.m.
Have a question or need a second set of eyes? Choose Office Hours.
No registration. No two-hour commitment. Just bring your Brightspace question and drop in when it works for you.
CETAL Instructional Designers and IT’s Instructional Technology team will be available via Zoom to help with things like course setup, assignments, quizzes, grades, content organization, instructional tools, or those mysterious Brightspace moments when you’re pretty sure you clicked the right thing…but Brightspace disagrees.
Brightspace Virtual Office Hours
August 12–26 | 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.
Office hours will not be available Monday, August 17.
Not sure which option you need?
That’s okay! Training is best for a guided introduction or refresher; Office Hours are best for specific questions or individual help with your course.
Let CETAL help you cross a few things off that pre-semester list before students arrive!
