A BRIGHTSPACE
MINUTE
In this Brightspace Minute, we focus on getting ready for the semester.
January 9, 2024: Getting Your Course Spaces Ready
- Find your courses – On the Brightspace landing page, you can filter the courses you want to see, or view all.
- Sandboxes: Workspaces that you can use to experiment or build a whole course that can be moved later. Sandboxes will never have students enrolled.
- Migrated: Courses moved from Blackboard which will never have students enrolled.
- Spring 24: These will have students enrolled, but will need to be activated for them to have access.
- Be sure to pin your current courses to make them easy to find.
- Move course content. Copy all (or some) content from another course space such as a previous semester's course, migrated course, or sandbox. See the UVM Knowledge Base article, Copy One Course to Another.
- Activate your course. This means opening it to students. By default, new courses are closed, or inactive. See instructions here.
- Manage Dates. Brightspace has a couple of options for changing dates throughout the course. See this UVM Knowledge Base article, Brightspace - Bulk Manage Dates.
