Brightspace 2.0 Training

This fall, the Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Leadership (CETLL) is offering a series of workshops covering advanced features in Brightspace.

Sessions on each topic will be offered twice, in order to accommodate faculty schedules. The first session will take place in person on campus. The second session will be online via Zoom. 

The first two topics will present an overview for faculty who are new to Brightspace or need a refresher.  The remainder of the topics will focus on advanced features of Brightspace. 

Each session will begin with a demonstration, followed by a hands-on period where you can apply what you learned to your Brightspace course.
