Brightspace Day – August 15

Please drop by and take the opportunity to log in, explore the environment, and ask us anything! Register for Brightspace Day here.

Brightspace Courses:

• All returning students are enrolled in Getting Started in Brightspace for SPS Students, a Brightspace course that covers how to navigate, how to stay organized, how to communicate with peers and instructors, how to complete assignments and quizzes and post in discussions, accessibility features, and how to get help.
• All new students are enrolled in New Student Orientation, an analogous course. These courses are a great way to learn about Brightspace.
