Brightspace Drop-in Session
One-on-One Instruction

Are you short on time? Do you need help with Brightspace? Do you want a Brightspace refresher? If you have attended an Introduction to Brightspace training session or you are familiar with Brightspace, you should stop by this Drop-in session to get your specific questions answered.

Faculty can receive individualized help during this Brightspace Drop-in session. This session's format is open, providing an opportunity for faculty to receive one-on-one help with Brightspace. You can get help on topics such as uploading files; creating modules and adding content; setting up discussion forums; creating links to webpages or online resources; setting up online quizzes and surveys; using release conditions to keep students on track; setting up your grade book; and copying content from one course to another.

To get the most out of the Drop-in Session, you should be familiar with navigating in Brightspace. If you are not familiar with navigating in Brightspace, you should review the recaps from past Brightspace Training sessions before attending the Drop-in session.
