In preparation for the upcoming fall semester, CETAL is offering additional Brightspace training.
Whether you need a refresher, are diving into Brightspace for the first time, or just have a question
or two, there are training and meeting options available.
Course Migration Cleanup
Your migrated course is in Brightspace, and you’re wondering, “Okay…now what?”
This workshop is designed to help you clean up and confidently move forward with your Brightspace
course. You’ll walk through a practical, step-by-step process to get everything organized, aligned,
and ready for students—from grades to course activities to dates.
This workshop is scheduled for three hours to allow for individual questions and hands-on help.
Join us on Friday, August 7th beginning at 9:00 a.m.
Introduction to Brightspace
Need a refresher on Brightspace basics? In this hands-on workshop, you’ll gain the confidence
to build and manage a course by learning the essentials needed to teach successfully in
Brightspace. Through guided demonstrations and activities, you’ll discover how to organize
course materials, create assessments, manage grades, communicate with students, and navigate
the platform with ease.
These two-hour workshops are available during the weeks leading up to the first day of instruction.
