The Orange Room<\/a> is a community where educators can learn from each other about efficient and innovative ways to use Brightspace. The Orange Room is a place where educators can share tips, suggestions, knowledge, and expertise to help colleagues use Brightspace to improve their teaching and to inspire the next generation of learners.<\/p>\n

Our latest contribution to The Orange Room is Ms. Monica Pierre's story about how, with the switch to remote instruction, she used Zoom to invite a guest speaker into her class. Inviting industry leaders to her classes to expose her students to real-world experiences and assignments is something she often does. The integration of Zoom into Brightspace makes it easy to setup virtual class meetings and invite guests.<\/p>\n
